Similarly, when a tree grows, where does most of the mass come from?

a) the soil

b) water

c) the air

d) other

Most of it from the air, but its not as clear cut as with weight loss (minerals, water, ect are from the soil).

I'm astonished for ignorant the doctors of the survey are!

During weight loss, the body wastes minerals and water as well! (not through the air)
