The carbon in carbon dioxide is recycled during photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and, through a series of chemical reactions, convert it into glucose (C6H12O6) while also releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
The hydrogen in glucose is recycled when water is formed.
During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to release energy, and one of the byproducts of this process is water (H2O). The hydrogen atoms from glucose combine with oxygen to form water, effectively recycling the hydrogen during the process.

During photosynthesis, one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is produced from six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and six molecules of water (H2O). Therefore, 6 molecules of water are used and recycled in the process.
It was recycled when glucose was formed.
In the process of photosynthesis, the hydrogen from the water (which contains the radioactive hydrogen) is incorporated into glucose molecules. Therefore, the radioactive hydrogen is effectively recycled when glucose is formed.
