Answer:
The broadest definition of a natural product is anything that is produced by life, and includes biotic materials (e.g. wood, silk), bio-based materials (e.g. bioplastics, cornstarch), bodily fluids (e.g. milk, plant exudates), and other natural materials that were once found in living organisms (e.g. soil, coal). A more restrictive definition of a natural product is any organic compound that is synthesized by a living organism. The science of organic chemistry, in fact, has its origins in the study of natural products, and has given rise to the fields of synthetic organic chemistry where scientists create organic molecules in the laboratory, and semi-synthetic organic chemistry where scientists modify existing natural products to improve or alter their activities.
