About what percentage of photosynthesis is carried by terrestrial plants, while the rest occurs in ocean, lakes, and ponds?
Correct answer: B. 10
- A. 40
- B. 10
- C. 20
- D. 30
Explanation
90% of total photosynthesis is carried out by aquatic plants. Most of them are marine algae, which account for nearly 80%. The rest is produced by freshwater algae about 10%. Only the remaining 10% of total photosynthesis is performed by land plants.Hence, B is the correct option.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
