This is false. While this may hold true for some compounds, this isn’t universally true. The correct element is actually Carbon, rather than Potassium.

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Most of the organic compounds have carbon and hydrogen and sometimes others such as oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus or sulfur. So there is no compulsion for potassium to be present in all the organic compounds that compose the chemicals. that is make up all plants, humans, and animals. So the given statement is false.
