About half the body weight of a tree is carbon. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stores the carbon, and releases the oxygen. As the tree grows, it stores more and more carbon.

What is carbon connected to on earth?
Most things are made up largely of carbon, including trees, rocks, soil and humans.
How wood is made?

Why are trees and forests important?
Because trees Take in carbon dioxide meaning that it is taken out of the atmosphere they are also important because they can be made into paper and the resin can be made into oil
Why do trees suck in carbon dioxide?
trees suck in carbon dioxide to then release oxygen
Do trees need carbon dioxide?
Trees do contain carbon. Trees take in carbon and convert it to carbon dioxide which is then released into the air as oxygen.
How is oxygen made available?
plants and trees inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. The opposite of humans.
Do palm trees absorb carbon?
Palm trees do absorb carbon. However, they absorb much less carbon and ozone than other trees because of the slender size of their leaves.
What molecule do tress get their carbon from?
Trees get their carbon from CO2.
What molecule do trees get there carbon from?
Carbon dioxide. CO2
WHAT MOLECULES DO TREES GET CARBON FROM?
Carbon dioxide. CO2
Why does cutting down trees increase carbon dioxide?
Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide.
Could trees live without air?
Trees are not make of air. They're made of wood, which is mostly cellulose.However, we were all taught that trees take in carbon dioxide (one carbon atom for every two oxygen atoms) and release oxygen (pairs of oxygen atoms). This leaves the carbon atoms nowhere else to go but to form the tree itself. Thus the tree is indeed made of wood (mostly carbon) that was derived from a continual intake of molecules in the air.
