<em>I think during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules.</em>
<span>In a ecosystem,rocks are an example of an abiotic factor because they are not a living part of the environment. From context of the statement, an abiotic factor is the non-living part of the environment in a ecosystem.</span>
In fact, there is a Oceanic Carbon cycle! Carbon dioxide get absorbed by the ocean's surface from the atmosphere and then get converted into a dissolved inorganic compound and so on.
