Answer: The conversion of carbon dioxide occurs into glucose via photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plants absorb carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere. This is one of the reactants of the photosynthesis process. The water and carbon dioxide are the reactants of the photosynthesis process in the presence of sunlight the molecule of water splits into hydrogen and oxygen gas is liberated as byproduct and carbon dioxide becomes the product of the glucose. The monomers of glucose combine to form starch molecule which is stored as energy reserve in plants.
