Carbon is often called the building block of life because carbon atoms are the basis of most molecules that make up living things. Carbon has a high capacity to bond to other molecules, which enables it to become the base of most molecules that make up living things.

∙ 9y agoAmong all of the chemical elements, carbon has the greatest capacity to
bond to itself and to most other nonmetallic elements, especially nitrogen,
phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, and hydrogen. This ability makes it the building
block of life as we know it, as carbon integrates itself with every element that helps to create or sustain life.

What is the continuous inhaling and exhaling of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Yes, do that often otherwise you will die.
How often is carbon dioxide cycled through the atmosphere?
Best Answer to this Q'n is: repeatedly, and as often as possible [under varying conditions]. Individual carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules spend an average of 3-4 years in the atmosphere (the residence time), before moving on as part of the carbon cycle. However, because CO2 leaving the atmosphere is offset by CO2 from natural carbon sources, it takes a lot longer than this for artificial CO2 increases to dissipate - up to a thousand years. This is called the turnover time, or the global atmospheric lifetime.
Which side of a building do icicles most often form?
Icicles most often form on the south side of buildings.
What is zeocarbon?
Zeocarbon is a mixture of activated carbon and a volcanic rock called zeolite. Activated carbon is most often used in air filtering applications to remove odor and volatile organic compounds, ( VOCs.). Zeolite is most often added to the activated carbon to form "zeocarbon," when air filters are used to treat septic tank vents or sewer vents, because of zeocarbons unique ability to remove ammonia as well as VOCs and other odor causing compounds.
A course grained intrusive rock often used for building and monuments?
Granite.
Where can you store a text or graphic so it can be used in future documents?
In a word processing program, it is often just called the clipboard.
Which family of elements are called basis of life?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen. They can form the four moleccules Carbon dioxide(CO2), Water(H2O), Methane(CH4) and Ammonia(NH3). These four molecules are the 'brick' that build to make life.
