When animals eat food, they get carbon in the form of carbohydrates and proteins. ... The oxygen (O2) from the CO2 molecule was sent back into the atmosphere; the carbon atom (C) was detached and used to make a molecule of sugar.
Rigid skeletons are formed from materials including chitin (in arthropods), calcium compounds such as calcium carbonate (in stony corals and mollusks) and silicate (for diatoms and radiolarians).
Telescopes on Earth and in orbit around Earth provide scientists with information about our solar system. That information is used to plan where spacecraft fly and where they “point their cameras.” NASA and other agencies send robotic spacecraft to fly by, orbit, or land on other planets and moons.
