Where do compounds of carbon find their application in daily life?

Carbon is one of the fundamental building blocks of molecules. It makes its way into your daily life in things you eat (carbohydrates (like sugar): Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen), in fuel for your car (hydrocarbons (like gasoline): Carbon and Hydrogen), and on your paper, (printer ink cartridges: pure carbon). Wood contains carbon in the form of cellulose. Plastic contains carbon in long chains called polymers. Steel contains carbon sandwiched between Iron molecules. Graphite is PURE CARBON. Diamonds are PURE CARBON (in a different crystalline structure than graphite). I hope this answers your question. Be more specific and I will give you a more specific answer.
