The correct response is: **Plants use carbon to build glucose during photosynthesis.**
During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose (C6H12O6) using sunlight energy, which provides them with the necessary carbon atoms to create their energy-rich molecules.
