Take coconut trees for example. They photosynthesize, and consume water and nutrients from the soil. They create coconuts that are very high in fats.
But where does the fat come from?
In: Biology
I don’t know the exact chemical process, but we turn food into fat as well. You can eat a lot of carbs and little fat, but still gain a lot of weight stored as fat. Life is an extremely complex chemical process, it takes inputs and creates outputs. Fat has to be created by something at some point.
Fat isn’t a base element or simple molecule, its fairly complex. So plants take the precursors and combine them into fat.
