This sounds like a photosynthesis question. If so here's your answer.
Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and split into oxygen and carbon. The oxygen is released as a bi-product. The carbon is used to make glucose, a sugar that plants synthesize for energy. Glucose is a six carbon sugar, therfore 6 CO2 molecules are needed to create one glucose molecule. The process of putting carbons together like this is called carbon fixation.
However like everything else in Biology, it is not nearly that simple. The process of carbon fixation in photosythesis is a very long and complicated process. If you want to know all the specifics, the link below will lead you to a great video explaining all of it.
