About half the body weight of a tree is carbon. The tree absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, stores the carbon, and releases the oxygen. As the tree grows, it stores more and more carbon.
Wood is a natural product produced by plants called "trees". Trees make the wood out of Sunlight, Carbon Dioxide and Water.
Most things are made up largely of carbon, including trees, rocks, soil and humans.
Trees get their carbon from carbon dioxide in the air through the process of photosynthesis.
plants and trees inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. The opposite of humans.
Palm trees do absorb carbon. However, they absorb much less carbon and ozone than other trees because of the slender size of their leaves.
Trees do contain carbon. Trees take in carbon and convert it to carbon dioxide which is then released into the air as oxygen.

Trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide.
Trees are not make of air. They're made of wood, which is mostly cellulose.However, we were all taught that trees take in carbon dioxide (one carbon atom for every two oxygen atoms) and release oxygen (pairs of oxygen atoms). This leaves the carbon atoms nowhere else to go but to form the tree itself. Thus the tree is indeed made of wood (mostly carbon) that was derived from a continual intake of molecules in the air.
When trees rot, the carbon stored in the wood is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide through the process of decomposition. This carbon dioxide can then be taken up by other trees or plants through photosynthesis, completing the carbon cycle.
