The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf. Water enters the root and is transported up to the leaves through specialized plant cells known as xylem vessels.
The foundation of the carbon cycle lies with plants. During photosynthesis, a plant absorbs carbon dioxide (one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms) from the atmosphere. Carbon is used to form the organic body of the plant, while oxygen is released back into the atmosphere.
