The element CARBON enters the body in two NATURAL ways.
First is through eating and drinking. Almost all food that we eat contain the element carbon. As the ingested food reaches the digestive system, food is broken down into smaller pieces up until the molecular level. Some molecules are taken into the circulation, while others are excreted down as feces.
Second is by breathing. Certain air molecules contain carbon. One major air molecule is CARBON DIOXIDE. Some molecules are inhaled, but usually, CARBON DIOXIDE should be excreted from the body.
Unnatural ways when CARBON could enter the body is by medical intervention, as in intravenous injections, surgery, etc.

How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
In what way were huge deposits of carbon stored?
Two ways were coal and oil.
What is stored in carbon bonds?
Glucose is stored in carbon bonds.
In what bonds is the chemical energy stored in fats and in carbohydrates?
In fats, its mainly stored in carbon-carbon bonds. In carbs, its mainly stored in both carbon-carbon bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds.
How is carbon is stored in the biosphere?
In the atmosphere carbon is stored as CO2, methane (CH4), and other organic compounds. in other word, the carbon is stored in a gigatonnes.
Why do living organism need carbon?
because it it stored under your skin and helps your body to create more cells
How is the vast about of carbon stored?

How can carbon be stored?
in poo
What is carbon dioxide naturally absorbed and stored in?
Carbon dioxide is naturally absorbed (through photosynthesis) and stored in trees and vegetation. It is also absorbed and stored in the oceans.

Dissolved Carbon dioxide
Where is the energy in a glucose molecule stored?
The energy in a glucose molecule is stored in the bonds between the atoms.
How is carbon stored in the biopsphere?
First of all u must know dat carbon forms bonds with many elements.So carbon is stored in the forms of gases like CO2 & CO etc in atmosphere.In living beings,the entire body is made up nearly of carbon & trees also store them.In case of your body,one example is the fat. Science life on earth is based on chemical reactions of Carbon compounds,generally with hydrogen, earth is said to have Hydrocarbon form of life.
Is carbon stored in the biosphere in the oceans as dissolved carbon dioxide?
Yes, it is.
