Solar energy is utilized to convert inorganic carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide, into organic carbon compounds, such as glucose. this is part of the carbon cycle on earth; a cycle that demon-straits the law of conservation of matter. what process is responsible for initiating this cycle

depends on if you on plato or not
