As the plant photosythesises it creates glucose which it then turns into starch. As the plant uses the starch for growth it gets bigger and the mass increases

What compounds do plants make as they grow?

Biomass is a term used to measure the amount of energy in a biotic substance. Biomass is the energy that could be harvested from that plant. The plant itself doesn't produce biomass. Plants do produce O2 as a by-product of respiration, photosynthesis. Plants also produce various carbohydrates which are used by the plant to provide energy needs of the plant and nutrients necessary for the plants growth and ongoing processes.


Which substance do plants use to produce biomass?

Biomass is the total dry mass of an organism. In other words it is the name given to the material that makes up a living organism, excluding water. Therefore it is the compounds such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins etc. Plants produce biomass when they grow. To produce biomass plants need carbon dioxide and water (which they use to make glucose in photosynthesis) but they also need some nitrogen to make proteins, and some phosphorous so they can make DNA. They get these in mineral salt compounds called nitrates and phosphates from the soil. Confusingly biomass is also a term used for biological material that can be processed to make biofuel.
