Carbon is essential for the survival, growth and reproduction of living things. It is a finite resource that comes in different forms and transfers from living to non-living things in various ways. Carbon stays balanced with other chemical reactions in the air and bodies of water through the carbon cycle.
Carbon is the major chemical constituent of most organic matter, from fossil fuels to the complex molecules (DNA and RNA) that control genetic reproduction in organisms. Yet by weight, carbon is not one of the most abundant elements within the Earth's crust. In fact, the lithosphere is only 0.032% carbon by weight.
