Answer: Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth.This energy makes carbon molecules an excellent source of fuel for all living things. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to create fuel glucose and other sugars for building plant structures. This process forms the foundation of the fast (biological) carbon cycle.
