Plants take the CO2 from the atmosphere which is used in Calvin's cycle to synthesize organic compounds that end up building the plant. This fact can be proved by marking the atmospheric CO2 with radioactive isotopes of carbon, afterwards using a Geiger counter the plant will present radioactivity.

The carbon in the atmosphere is most commonly found in the form of CO2

it has a concentration of 0.04%.CO2 is a byproduct of aerobic respiration

or combustion, for example, C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+6H2O. The CO2 is then used by plants in photosynthesis as mentioned earlier.

Carbon is present in the biosphere because all life is made of carbon.

Carbon is present in the geosphere most commonly under the form of hydrocarbons like methane(CH4). The carbon present in geosphere is a result of organisms decay and metabolic byproducts. For example, methanogen bacteria synthesize methane in anaerobic conditions reducing hydrogen in the presence of CO2(CO2+4H2⇒CH4+2H2O). Carbon in the geosphere can also be found in coal that becomes diamond under extreme pressure and temperature.

What are some proposed disadvantages to utilizing DNA technology?
vfiekz [6]
Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.
