    It is taken up by PLANTS during photosynthesis, Incorporated into SUGARS and finally converted into numerous BIOCHEMICALS.

    2. Dead organisms and DECOMPOSED by the small animals and then by BACTERIA and FUNGI. They complete the cycle by releasing CARBON DIOXIDE into the atmosphere.

    for the biochemicals im not sure but it definitely not proteins cause sugars to proteins doesn't make sense. (process of elimination)
