Where does the majority of the mass of a plant come from?
believe it or not it actually comes from carbon dioxide. the carbon molecules from the carbon dioxide are fixed in the plant in part of photosynthesis called the Calvin cycle. If you want to see this for yourself there is actually a video online as well asking the same questions to Harvard grads and watching their reactions when they learn the truth.

Where does the plant get the carbon to make plant structures?

Carbon dioxide (CO^2)
Where does most of the carbon dioxide released by human activities come from?
Most of the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere comes from nature. Specifically, it comes from rotting material. A tree that is rotting in the forest produces the same amount of CO2 as a tree being burnt.
Is 44 amu is equal to molecular mass?
It depends on the molecule. Carbon dioxide has a molecular mass of about 44 AMU, but most other molecules do not.
What did Jan Van Helmont concluded that plants get most of their mass from?
Van Helmont concluded that most of the mass the plant gained had come from water.
Which organ do we excrete most of our carbon dioxide from?
Carbon dioxide is excreted from the lungs.
Which animal produces the most carbon dioxide?
Most animals produce carbon dioxide at relatively the same rate. The animals that produce the most carbon dioxide are the ones that must breathe the most rapidly.
Is carbon dioxide carbohydrates?
Yes. Carbon is the most abundant element found in living things.
What is the 5th most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere?
This gas is carbon dioxide: 0,039 445 %.
The mass of some corn plants at the end of the growth. Was 6 tons per acre most of this mass was produced from?
water from the soil and and carbon dioxide from the air.
Where is carbon most abundent?
No, the most abundant element on earth by mass is oxygen.
