All living things are made of carbon. Carbon is also a part of the ocean, air, and even rocks. Because the Earth is a dynamic place, carbon does not stay still. It is on the move!
In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide.
Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and traps heat in the atmosphere. Without it and other greenhouse gases, Earth would be a frozen world. But humans have burned so much fuel that there is about 30% more carbon dioxide in the air today than there was about 150 years ago, and Earth is becoming a warmer place. In fact, ice cores show us that there is now more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there has been in the last 420,000 years.
hope it help u

carbon is present in all life forms. They are based on carbon containing molecules like protein carbohydrates fats etc. The endoskelton and exoskeleton are also made of carbonate Plants take atmospheric carbon dioxide and r
and release release O2 and which is again used by animals and Co2 is released when plants are eaten by animals then the glucose is utilised to form energy in this respiration process Co2 again go back to atmosphere can combustion take place O2 is used Co2 is released thirsty O2 again goes back to the atmosphere by burning of carbon containing fossil fuels fossil fuels include petroleum coal excetra which is rich in carbon and organic compounds are decomposed then see you again reaches to atmosphere
