Carbon is one element in CO2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas contributor that is produced by man. Almost 6% of all CO2 is man made. The remaining 94% is natural. Carbon dioxide makes up roughly 5% of all greenhouse gases present, but it is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

carbon monixide, carbon dioxide, and plain carbon
The carbon cycle removes carbon from the atmosphere, but only temporarily.Photosynthesis, when plants grow, is the only way to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere. So we need to plant more forests.
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Carbon Cycle.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule in which carbon is found in the Earth's atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide rises in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the molecule that carries most of the carbon in the atmosphere.
The carbon cycle
Carbon is cycled from the atmosphere to producers (plants) through photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide to produce glucose. Consumers then consume these plants, obtaining carbon by eating them. When consumers respire or decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
It is not fixed in the atmosphere. It moves as part of the carbon cycle in and out of the oceans, the atmosphere and the land.
Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

List the compounds so I can answer your question. I would imagine Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide would be the first 2.
