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 important to all living organisms. Any particular biological process or system can usually be understood in terms of chemistry: living creatures are, to a large extent, a series of chemical reactions occurring in a particular context. So, the simplest explanation for the importance of carbon to living organisms is a chemical one.
