Question

Approximately how much of the solar energy that falls on the leaves of a plant is converted to chemical enegry by photosynthesis?, Less than 1\%, 2 − 10%, 30%, 50%

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The ultimate source of enegry in all ecosystems is sun except deep hydrothermal ecosystem. Solar radiation (less than 50% is Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)) and about 2 − 10% or 1 − 5% of solar incident energy is captured by the autotrophs and converted to chemical enegry by the process of photosynthesis.
