What example of carbon being used in living things?
EVERYTHING alive on Earth is a carbon-based lifeform, so whatever animal, plant, or microorganism you think of can be put here.
What element is likely to be found in the molecules of living organisms?
Carbon. Life on Earth is based on the complex chemistry of Carbon.
Is wood a carbon fuel?
Yes, I said so.
Life on earth is said to be carbon based because organic molecules contain what kind of atoms?
All the organic molecules contain carbon (C).
What type of carbon based molecule are DNA and RNA?
A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
Are bugs carbon-based?
All life on Earth is carbon based, including bugs.
Are most organisms said to be carbon based?
All organisms on Earth are carbon based.
What percent of organisms on earth are considered carbon-based?
All life on Earth is carbon based this is because carbon bonds with other elements, especially oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. It is often assumed in astrobiology that if life exists somewhere else in in the universe, it will also be carbon-based. ---- 100%
What is life on earth based on?
CARBON!
Everything that is alive on earth made of?
earth and life is carbon based
Organisms on earth are what based life forms?
All organisms on Earth are referred to as carbon-based life forms. Carbon has a number of advantages that allow it to be part of a wide variety of different stable compounds, more so than other elements. It is likely that life on other planets would be carbon based as well.

What percentage of organisms on Earth are considered to be carbon based?
It is 99%
What is the percentage of organism on earth are considered carbon based?
about 99%
What uses the carbon to build their skeletons and shells?
Life on Earth is carbon based, so all animals with skeletons and shells use carbon. A more 'common' element used in skeletons and shells is calcium.
Are sponges silicon based life?
No, they are carbon-based as is all life on earth (as we know it). They do have silica as part of their body, but the main part is carbon.
Why the life on the Earth is carbon based?
One carbon atom can be attached to other carbon atom. By this unique property of carbon, that you can get very large number of molecules. No other atom has got this property. So life without the carbon atom is not possible.
