Plant biomass forms when sugars from photosynthesis are used for respiration, with energy lost as heat and remaining sugars used to synthesize other organic molecules.
Il biomassa delle piante si forma quando gli zuccheri della fotosintesi vengono utilizzati per la respirazione, con l'energia persa sotto forma di calore e gli zuccheri rimanenti utilizzati per sintetizzare altre molecole organiche.
| Front | How does biomass form in plants? |
|---|---|
| Back | - most sugars synthesised in photosynthesis used as respiratory substrates - energy released in respiration lost as heat - remaining sugars used to synthesise other organic molecules such as amino acids - which form the biomass of the plant |
