Labelled carbon enters living system through photosynthesis alongwith normal cabon in the form of carbohydrates. When we eat them, our body converts them in glycoproteins found in our muscles and all parts of body.

Carbon atoms in the atmosphere are in the form of CO2 (for the most part)
Plants convert CO2 into simple sugars
Humans eat the plants and use the sugars for fuel and building tissues like muscle
