Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon is a major component of all organic compounds, which include living organisms and fossil fuels. Sedimentary rocks may contain organic matter but not necessarily carbon as a major component. Atmospheric gases such as nitrogen and oxygen are not primarily composed of carbon. While carbon can be found in the oceans, it is not a major component compared to other substances like salt and water.
