- Energy and Biomass
- Radiation from the sun is the main source of energy for most communities of of animals.
- Green plants and algae absorb a small amount of this light energy using chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
- During photosynthesis, some of the light energy is transferred into chemical energy in the bonds of the glucose molecules that are made.
- This energy is then stored in the substances that make up cells of the plants and algae. This adds to its biomass.

- Biomass is the mass of the material in living organisms.
- Ultimately almost all of the biomass on Earth is built up using energy from the sun.
