The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. This means that six carbon atoms can be found within one molecule of glucose, as well as twelve hydrogens and six oxygens. In, for example, photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is involved in a complex series of reactions that form glucose from those molecules, as well as from hydrogen atoms from water. If 54 molecules of carbon dioxide, and thus 54 atoms of carbon, were used in photosynthesis, nine molecules of glucose would be formed, thus meaning that all of the carbon atoms would become glucose. Therefore, all of the carbon atoms can potentially become part of glucose.

No, but carbon is a part of nearly all macromolecules.
The carbon to form glucose in photosynthesis comes from CO 2 in the atmosphere. After the light reactions store energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, the Calvin cycle uses that energy in a multiphase process to form G3P (a pseudo-sugar) which goes on to become glucose.
True! The carbon that was in a plant becomes part of the soil when the plant dies and decomposes.
Cellular respiration, combustion, and decomposition.
Carbon sequestration is part of the carbon cycle, so it could be said that is where it occurs. The carbon cycle refers to the circulation of carbon atoms in the biosphere.

Carbon will almost always form bonds with other carbon atoms, and that is part of what makes it such a useful element.
