And just... Cells... In your body...
12 u/ClockworkDinosaurs 14d ago OP thinks they eat food, it all leaves their body, then they grow bigger due to photosynthesis 1 u/Moist-Ointments 14d ago Even photosynthesis uses elements extracted from the soil. Photosynthesis doesn't create plant structures out of nothing. 1 u/Always-_-Sarcastic Technically Flair 14d ago IIRC, a lot of the plant is just water, and the solid stuff is mostly carbon dioxide derived compounds. Only ≈3% of the plant's weight is from minerals extracted from the soil. 1 u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 7d ago So basically same As every other living organism. 1 u/Always-_-Sarcastic Technically Flair 7d ago Animals lose weight primarily by breathing out CO2, plants gain weight breathing in CO2. Basically similar in principle, but not basically the same. 1 u/Prior-Flamingo-1378 7d ago Yeah for some stupid reason I completely skipped the “dioxide” part. I read carbon derived compounds. Thanx for the correction!
