lots of things. Graphite, used as pencil lead, is a form of carbon. Coal is a form of carbon, burned for heat. Diamonds are also a form of carbon, used both for decorative and for industrial purposes (such as polishing granite). And if we include compounds which are made partially of carbon, then we have all of biochemistry. Human life, or any form of life that we know of, cannot exist without the carbon atom. Even Star Trek refers to humans as a "carbon-based life form".

Does carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide have a benefit?
For the applications of carbon monoxide see the link below. Carbon Dioxide is taken in by green plants and used to make Oxygen that we breathe. Carbon Dioxide is used to make 'Carbonated' beverages. Carbon Dioxide is used in many industrial applications, such as welding. Carbon Dioxide is used to make Dry Ice. Carbon Dioxide is used in Fire Extinguishers.

How is carbon commonly used?
Carbon can be used as a fire starter or like everyone in the world knows, Diamonds are formed from carbon.
How is carbon used in photosynthesis?
Carbon is used in photosynthesis as part of carbon dioxide, which is one of the reactants needed in photosynthesis. Without carbon, this process cannot occur.
How can we activate the used carbon for aquarium use?
Used carbon should not be used. You should buy activated carbon, it's already labled that way on the box.
What elements are used to make carbon doixide?
