5. Tracing Matter for Biosynthesis
Matter Inputs
Matter Outputs
Gas g
Liquid
Solid
Process: Biosynthesis
Glucose, soil minerals
Cellulose, proteins, fats, starch
Biosynthesis requires energy, and sometimes there are waste products (usually water or carbon dioxide) from biosynthetic reactions, so plants need more than 100 g of glucose to make 100 g of plant materials.

glucose
Water vapor, CO2 g

7. Activity 11: The Carbon Cycle

8. What processes go in the white boxes?

9. The processes of photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and burning move carbon through the environment
