This exercise will help you to understand how carbon atoms are recycled in the natural environment.
Carbon is an element which forms an important part of all living organisms and their environments.
These can include diamond and graphite , but carbon can combine with other atoms to form a wide variety of molecules. It's important to remember that all living things contain a lot of carbon in one form or another because all cells contain proteins , fats and carbohydrates . All the cells in plants have a cell wall around them. This is made of cellulose , a carbohydrate. Green plants get their carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air.
