4). which process can result in decreased biomass for a plant: cellular respiration or photosynthesis? where does the mass/matter go? what molecules are given off by the plant cells?

Cellular respiration results in decreased biomass for a plant. In cellular respiration glucose and oxygen yield water and carbon dioxide. So, carbon dioxide is released in the into the air instead of forming organic molecules which could increase the biomass.

Where is the rest of the question
