How are trees big?

  • A few months ago I was looking at the trees in my backyard and marveling at their size. Then it suddenly dawned on me. Where does all the stuff that makes a tree come from? I was surprised at what I didn’t really understand until that day.
    If you want to know more about these characters Pebble and Wren you can see their origin story here: • Pebble and Wren
    And you can get the book I wrote about them here: hallbeck.com/links/

    There is a tiny error: trees do not break CO2, but water. The oxygen they produce (the first pollutant that caused the extinction of many lifeforms... seriously) comes from water, not from carbon dioxide. Said that, yeah, it is pretty amazing that tree can grow so much from just air, water and light.

    The tree doesn't break CO2 down to carbon and oxygen tho. The oxygen is from water.
    It uses energy from the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water to make carbohydrate and releases excess oxygen ripped from water, not carbon dioxide.
