Everything living is made of carbon. Carbon comes in many forms from coal to diamonds. Carbon also combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

Carbon is present in all organic compounds. As for practical uses; carbons is used for a wide variety of things. Most of these are industrial. Carbon is used to make artificial diamonds that mostly go into cutting devices, i.e. diamond toothed saw blades; though some are used for jewelry. Carbon is also used in air filters to reduce odors and in water filters to reduce impurities. It is also added to iron to create steal.
