The carbon dioxide in the air that the plant takes in through it's stomata.
Carbon dioxide.
The formula for glucose is C6H12O6. This means that six carbon atoms can be found within one molecule of glucose, as well as twelve hydrogens and six oxygens. In, for example, photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is involved in a complex series of reactions that form glucose from those molecules, as well as from hydrogen atoms from water. If 54 molecules of carbon dioxide, and thus 54 atoms of carbon, were used in photosynthesis, nine molecules of glucose would be formed, thus meaning that all of the carbon atoms would become glucose. Therefore, all of the carbon atoms can potentially become part of glucose.

The Carbon in Glucose made by plants comes from the Carbon in the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas in the air.
