A wide range of organic materials can be used to make biomass, and sources such as algae are far more energy-dense than wood.

Answer 1

The best revision for the claim as a rebuttal to the counterclaim is:

"A wide range of organic materials can be used to make biomass, and sources such as algae are far more energy-dense than wood."

This statement effectively counters a potential argument against biomass by highlighting its variability and the potential for more efficient energy sources.
