If bleeding is severe, or if you think there is internal bleeding, or the person is in shock, get emergency help. 1  Calm and reassure the person. The sight of blood can be very frightening.  If the wound affects just the top layers of skin (superficial), wash it with soap and warm water and pat dry.
Carbon is Important to Life. In its metabolism of food and respiration, an animal consumes glucose (C6H12O6), which combines with oxygen (O2) to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and energy, which is given off as heat. The animal has no need for the carbon dioxide and releases it into the atmosphere. A plant, on the other hand, uses the opposite reaction of an animal through photosynthesis. It intakes carbon dioxide, water, and energy from sunlight to make its own glucose and oxygen gas.
As well as being the main element in organic matter, carbon atoms are the only element in both graphite and diamond. Image credit below. It would be impossible for life on earth to exist without carbon. Carbon is the main component of sugars, proteins, fats, DNA, muscle tissue, pretty much everything in your body. The reason carbon is so special is down to the electron configuration of the individual atoms.
