Trees remove carbon dioxide from the air releasing the oxygen and retaining the carbon as sugar and cellulose. The cellulose is used to form wood and leaves. The sugar fuels the trees cellular growth and seed formation.
The carbon is stored as wood (in the tree itaelf) and in the fallen leaves as humus or carbon in the soil.

Explain where the carbon stored in fossil fuels comes from?
The carbon that are stored in Fossil fuels comes from animals, while other may argue that it comes from the huge mass of tree and plants that covered the earth many years ago.
Where is carbon stored in the oceans?
Carbon cannot be stored in a specific area of the ocean, but the mass percent is 0.0028%
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.
What is a carbon store?
either a long-term or a short term store, it's a place where carbon is accumalated and stored. Examples of long term stores is the atmosphere and short-term could be living organisms.
Explain where the carbon from fossil fuels come from?
The carbon that are stored in Fossil fuels comes from animals, while other may argue that it comes from the huge mass of tree and plants that covered the earth many years ago.
If you cut down a tree do you release the carbon that is stored in it?
Cutting a tree is a physical change. To release the carbon, there has to be a chemical change. Burning or rotting will release the carbon.
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.
Why is it important for humans to make sure that they don't cut down too many trees?
Because trees remove carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere. Through photosynthesis the oxygen is released and the carbon is stored in the roots, trunk and branches of the tree. 50% of a tree's weight is carbon.
How is carbon dioxide consumed on earth?
The earth's carbon cycle moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere, into oceans, soil, animals and vegetation and back again. The oceans absorb some CO2, but only the surface water. The oceans are becoming more acidic and damaging coral and fish. Trees and vegetation take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. This carbon is stored within the plant or tree and stays there until the tree is destroyed. About half the weight of a tree is carbon.
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.
How is the vast about of carbon stored?
stored in carbonate rock.
Where is carbon stored in the oceans?
Carbon cannot be stored in a specific area of the ocean, but the mass percent is 0.0028%
How can carbon be stored?
in poo
