The stomata in the surface of a plant open during daylight (for most plants) and allow CO2 to be absorbed and O2 released. These gases just diffuse to and from the air via the stomata, but are reacted within the interior of the plant.

[Some desert plants have their stomata closed during the day, to conserve water. They open their stomata at night, and store CO2 in a special chemical, then close the stomata during the day, but still use the sunlight to convert the CO2 into sugars and starches.]
