Answer:
All organic compounds, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, contain carbon, and all plant and animal cells consist of carbon compounds and their polymers. (Polymers are macromolecules consisting of many simple molecules bonded together in specific ways.) With hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and a few other elements, carbon forms compounds that make up about 18 percent of all the matter in living things. The processes by which organisms consume carbon and return it to their surroundings constitute the carbon cycle.

Carbon is present as carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere at a concentration of about 0.04 percent by volume, an amount that is increasing. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and it is dissolved in all natural waters. Carbon occurs in the crust of Earth in the form of carbonates in such rocks as marble, limestone, and chalk and in hydrocarbons—the principal constituents of coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Carbonate minerals are important sources of various metals, such as sodium, magnesium, calcium, copper, and lead.
