Fingernails are made of skin.
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.
The great forests of the world used to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it. They were carbon sinks, but they exist no longer. If we can create artificial carbon sinks they will reduce the effects of global warming by removing CO2 from the air.
Yes, it can.
Fingernails (and hair and horns) are made of keratin, a tough insoluble protein.
another gas found in air, carbon dioxide, also causes chemical, weathering. Carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and in water that sinks through air pockets in the soil. The result is a weak acid called carbonic acid. Carbonic acid easily weathers rocks such as marble and limestone.

Yes, it can.
The two largest carbon sinks on the earth are oceans and soil.Also forests can be mentioned .Carbon dioxide is emitted and taken away by plants .
The ocean and soil
What are natural sinks? These areas are known as 'natural sinks'. Some of these natural sinks are forest cover (trees, vegetation), oceans, and soil to some extent, all of which have the ability to take in carbon dioxide. ... Trees and other land plants absorb carbon dioxide and serve as a storehouse, or 'sink', of carbon.
A carbon sink is a storage for carbon. A tree is a carbon sink because it absorbs carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere, stores the carbon and releases the oxygen. So forests are major carbon sinks which reduce the levels of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Yes, they are because they are dead cells and are make of carbon based compounds.
Plants are big carbon sinks, they make there parts with carbon compounds and they take in a lot of the carbon dioxide pumped into the air by humans.
no oceans are also referred to as carbon sinks. this is because marine organisms make shells out of carbonate which later turn into a sedimentary rock called limestone. also the carbon in these shells can remain in for a long time. the carbon is returned to the air as carbon dioxide during weathering and volcanic eruptions.
plants are the sinks of carbon dioxide and releases oxygen it is cycle process
Peatlands, soils and the ocean floor are well-recognized as sites of organic carbon accumulation and represent important global carbon sinks
