As we learnt

 

Photosynthesis -

 

Carbon enters the biotic system through photosynthesis. In photosynthesis green plants  utilize CO2 and incorporate the carbon of CO2 in glucose. Glucose is used for the synthesis of other types of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. These compounds, containing carbon, are stored up in the plant tissues.
