How Does Carbon Become Part Of Living Organisms?
Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. Carbon moves from plants to animals. Through food chains, the carbon that is in plants moves to the animals that eat them. Animals that eat other animals get the carbon from their food too.
How does carbon become part of an organism?
When animals eat food, they get carbon in the form of carbohydrates and proteins. In animals, oxygen combines with food in the cells to produce energy for daily activity and then gives off carbon.
