Explanation:
main ingredients for plant growth are water, air, and energy. Where plants get their mass
Answer: Plants Made from Thin Air?
Inputs for photosynthesis
Plants need energy from the sun, water from the soil, and carbon from the air to grow.
Air is mostly made of nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. So how do plants get the carbon they need to grow? They absorb carbon dioxide from the air. This carbon makes up most of the building materials that plants use to build new leaves, stems, and roots. The oxygen used to build glucose molecules is also from carbon dioxide.
Water is another important material plants need to grow, and they get it by absorbing it through their roots. Water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The hydrogen in water is used to help build glucose molecules.
A plant can be up to 95% water. Think of the water as the filler they use between carbon structures. If we take away the water from a plant though, and look at just the dry material, a large majority of that material comes from thin air.
Plants also need tiny bits of vitamins and minerals to grow properly, which they get through their roots.
Plants need a lot of energy to take care of their cells and to build new ones so they can grow. Plants get their energy from the sun
