All life on Earth is considered carbon-based because the building blocks of all the living organisms, including human beings, are the biomolecules based on carbon: proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.

Oxygen is an element necessary element for various cell processes, so humans may be referred to as oxygen-dependent life forms.

Humans, alongside all other life on this planet, have carbon as the basic element found in every thing in their body. One may say that carbon is omnipresent within living beings. With us, we breathe oxygen as we need it for basic PROCESSES of life, whereas carbon provides the actual structures of the things which take in that oxygen. Without carbon as the base element of life, Earth's creatures and general environment would be very different. I honestly hope that this answer makes sense to you.

Plants have a chloroplast, used to make their own food using the process photosythesis, While animals don't, an consume other living things.

_____ is the irregular break of a mineral
Sati [7]

Answer:

I'm not sure if this is right, but i believe the right answer would be fracture.

Explanation:

In geology, a fracture is any separation in a geologic formation, such as a joint or a fault that divides the rock into two or more pieces. A fracture will sometimes form a deep fissure or crevice in the rock. Fractures are commonly caused by stress exceeding the rock strength, causing the rock to lose cohesion along its weakest plane.

hope this helps :)
