You wonât find it in your kitchen or bathroom: Carbon sinks are natural systems that suck up and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The main natural carbon sinks are plants, the ocean and soil. Plants grab carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in photosynthesis; some of this carbon is transferred to soil as plants die and decompose. The oceans are a major carbon storage system for carbon dioxide.
Thus this cycle goes on where CO2 is taken from the atmosphere and combines with H2O to make glucose and oxygen in plants through photosynthesis. And then during respiration glucose breaks with the aid of oxygen to CO2 and H2O and is released to the atmosphere. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and, with the sun's energy, converts it into chlorophyl. The waste product from this process is oxygen, which the plant expires through the leaves.
