The large amount of carbon is locked up under the sea in the form of calciferous rock (limestone) formed by many small sea creatures dying, drifting to the ocean bed, and over many years of great pressure being turned into rock. Carbon is also stored in coral reefs.
The most carbon however is stored in the trees and plants. They photosynthesise (using carbon dioxide, H20 and of course sunlight - and producing carbohydrates and oxygen). The carbohydrate produced is either starch or glucose, and this is used in respiration to produce ATP. This ATP is used everywhere energy is required in the plant, and one of those places is in the ribosomes - where protein synthesis occurs. As such, the Carbon is used in the long run in the growth of plants.
A good estimate is that each tree stores up to 13 pounds of CO2 annually, and that half of a trees dry mass is made up of Carbon (mainly in the form of cellulose). Therefore, the most carbon is stored in trees.
Hope this helps, Owen Jones

Glucose is stored in carbon bonds.
Is carbon is found in fruits?
Yes carbon is found in most fruits because they are stored in carbon freezer and the gas can penetrate the fruits "skin".
Where is most carbon stored in the geosphere?
Most of the carbon in the geosphere is stored in the Earth's crust, primarily in rocks and minerals. Additionally, significant amounts of carbon are stored in fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are found in underground reservoirs.
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.
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere in the form of what molecule?
Carbon is stored in the atmosphere primarily as carbon dioxide (CO2) molecule.
Where is most of the earths carbon located and in what from?
Most of the Earth's carbon is located in the oceans, in the form of dissolved carbon dioxide and carbonate ions. Additionally, a significant amount of carbon is stored in rocks and sedimentary deposits, such as limestone and fossil fuels.
How is the vast about of carbon stored?
stored in carbonate rock.
Where is most of the carbon on earth stored?
carbon is most abundant in all earths bodies of water (approx 36,000 gigatonnes) compared with the biosphere (1,900 gigatonnes), hydrocarbons (1050 gigatonnes) and the atmosphere (810 gigatonnes), plus other smaller sources but generally water contains the most carbon.
Where is carbon stored in the oceans?
Carbon is stored in the oceans in various forms, including dissolved inorganic carbon (such as carbon dioxide), dissolved organic carbon, and particulate organic carbon. It is also stored in living organisms like phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as in sediments at the ocean floor.
How can carbon be stored?
in poo
Which of the foolwing is not a way that carbon is stored in the biosphere?
Burning fossil fuels is not a way that carbon is stored in the biosphere. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon that was previously stored underground back into the atmosphere.
What organisms in the ocean store the most carbon?
Phytoplankton and marine algae are the primary organisms in the ocean that store the most carbon through the process of photosynthesis. They absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into organic carbon, which can be stored in their cells or sink to the ocean floor when they die.
