Why is the element carbon important to life on earth

"Complex molecules are made up of carbon bonded with other elements, especially oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen." -Google

Carbon is everywhere, most living things are made of carbon , living things need carbon in order to live , grow and reproduce.

This is what i found on google“ the monomers combine with each other via covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers. in doing so, monomers release water molecules as byproducts. this type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water. in the process, a water molecule is formed.” i hope this you
