Carbon

MOST THINGS ARE MADE OF CARBON

AND QUITE A FEW OF THOSE ARE
ESSENTIAL FOR HUMAN LIFE. IN THIS
POWERPOINT I WILL SHOW HOW USEFUL
CARBON IS.
 A protein molecule.

Carbon is the main

substance in the making
of proteins, fats and
carbohydrates, also if
carbon did not exist we
would not exist as we
rely on plants which turn
carbon dioxide into
oxygen
Carbon makes up many
everyday items, here are
a few…
The ink in printers
The fizz in fizzy drinks
And pencils which are
not made up of lead but
a safer carbon build
called Graphite.
Carbon also makes up
the hardest material in
the world which is used
in jewellery and is highly
expensive. It is called
Diamond. Diamonds are
also useful in mining
where it is put on a drill
in small pieces and it
rubs away the rock
because of its strength.
