The element carbon is not found in a pure form in the human body, but rather in compounds within the body. Carbon constitutes roughly 18 percent of body mass, and millions of carbon atoms form the thousands of molecules in virtually every cell. Carbon is the basic building block required to form proteins, carbohydrates and fats, and it plays a crucial role in regulating the physiology of the body. Gaseous and liquid compounds that contain carbon also can affect the body.

Do humans have fat bodies like frogs?
No humans do not have fat bodies, like frogs, humans store their fat in slabs.
Bodies that store and release chemicals for cell use?
Golgi Bodies
What organisms in the ocean store the most carbon?
the carbon fish which is 57% carbon
What gases move into or out of our bodies by diffusion?
oxygen and carbon dioxide
How do plants obtain carbon?
they obtain carbon by humans and organisms, etc.
Do humans have fat bodies like frogs?
No humans do not have fat bodies, like frogs, humans store their fat in slabs.
What bodies store and release chemicals in cells?
ANSWEROxygen and Carbon Dioxide
Why do humans have bodies?
Humans do not have bodies humans ARE bodies.
What is a reason why it's necessary for humans to eat fat?
to store heat in their bodies
Can humans be consider carbon sinks?
Humans can indeed be considered carbon sinks. Not only do humans have a lot of carbon in them they also use a lot of carbon.
Do Golgi bodies store protein?
yes Golgi bodies store proteins
What are the conditions that supports survival for humans?
Water, Goldylocks temperature (not to hot, not to cold), stable climate, Not to many or to bif impacts from outside bodies, abundance of carbon
How does carbon dioxide enter living things?
Animals, including humans, take in carbon whenever we eat. Some of this is released when we breathe out. Vegetation, including trees, take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They store the carbon and release the oxygen.
How are all animals like as heterotrophs?
Heterotrophic simply means 'Pertaining to the utilization of organic compounds as source of carbon', or in other words, the animals are made of part carbon. Even humans are. When we die, our bodies break down and release carbon into the air, and, mixing with oxygen, makes carbon dioxide.
Why do plants cows and humans make carbon dioxide?
Plants don't make carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen. Humans and cattle, like all animals, produce carbon dioxide because we need oxygen in our bodies to function properly and live, and in order to do so oxygen gets converted into carbon dioxide which must be excreted or exhaled out of our systems so that more oxygen can be drawn back in.
What has carbon in it?
Humans
