Animals are carbon based lifeforms; their celular structure is based on carbon atoms.
Animals consume food made of organic molecules, which are based on carbon atoms.
Animals breath out carbon dioxide, CO2.
Yes, animals use carbon.
carbon dioxide that plant use
No. Animal cells use Oxygen and give off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Plant cells use carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.

When an animal dies, bacteria release carbon in the body during the process of decomposition.

All living things are made of carbon. Carbon is a part of the ocean, air, and even rocks. Because the Earth is always moving, carbon does not stay still. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon from the air, and use it to grow and breathe. When animals eat plants with lots of carbon, the carbon becomes part of the animal, and use it to grow.
from food
There are many ways in which an animal is part of the carbon cycle. Animals breathe out carbon dioxide that plants breathe in.
No, not if the animal is healthy.
Mitochondria in animal cells convert energy into forms the animal cell can use whereas photosynthesis is the process plants use involving chloroplasts that convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose, energy and oxygen.
Plants use carbon dioxide obtained from the atmosphere, which is a byproduct of animal respiration. Animals exhale carbon dioxide when they breathe, and plants absorb this gas through small openings in their leaves called stomata. During photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into glucose and oxygen, using the energy from sunlight to drive the process. Thus, while plants do not directly use animal products, they rely on the carbon dioxide generated by animals for photosynthesis.
Carbon is the medium for energy flow within ecosystems. For instance, carbon dioxide exists within the air. Plants use energy from the sun to separate the carbon and the oxygen. The carbon is used to construct the plant and the oxygen is released into the air. An animal will then breath the oxygen and eat the plant. The animal will then combine the oxygen and carbon to recreate carbon dioxide and will use the energy that is given off to move or perform physical actions. It is a constant cycle that occurs within ecosystems. The sunlight is the source of the energy, and carbon allows the energy to be utilized by plants, then animals and then plants again (with more sunlight).
