This produces carbohydrates that the trees turn into sugars, to be burnt off in respiration or, by another chemical process, turned into new plant-matter.

树木将这个反应过程中产生的碳水化合物转变成糖类。一方面，树木消耗这些糖类来进行呼吸，另一方面，通过其他化学反应，树木还将这些糖类在生长过程中转变成为自身的一部分。

Within it, photosynthetic reaction-centres collect solar energy to drive the transformation of water and carbon dioxide in the air into sugars that nourish and build the plant.

在它的内部，光合反应中心收集太阳能，驱动水和空气中的二氧化碳形成糖，滋润并造就了我们的星球。

Potatoes are a great source of starch and presumably some of that starch can break down into sugars needed for fermentation.

FORBES: Prisoners Making Hooch: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Most plants use an enzyme called rubisco to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into sugars containing three carbon atoms a process known as C3 photosynthesis.

It is brewed with an extended mashing time, in which the carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars that are then fermented into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
