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.
