Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the nature of organic compounds: Organic compounds are primarily made of carbon atoms and are found in living organisms or derived from them.
Understand the composition of viruses: Viruses are composed of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) and proteins, both of which are organic compounds.
Analyze the given samples: Consider which samples are likely to contain organic compounds similar to those found in viruses.
Evaluate the sample of human blood: Human blood contains cells and proteins, which are organic in nature and can be associated with viral components.
Conclude that human blood is the most likely sample to contain organic compounds characteristic of viruses, as it naturally contains organic molecules similar to those found in viruses.
