Environment
"Originally, the atoms of carbon from which we're made were floating in the air, part of a carbon dioxide molecule.

Using sunlight as a catalyst the green cells of plants combine carbon atoms taken from the air with water and elements drawn from the soil to form the simple organic compounds that stand at the base of every food chain. It is more than a figure of speech to say that plants create life out of thin air."
