This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State

Show
A tree's trunk gains most bulk from carbon fixed out of atmospheric carbon dioxide, not soil lost around its roots.
Watch for
This entry states the popular assumption — Bio 2583 gives the reaction supplying most of a plant's mass.
