The percentage of light absorbed by the leaf is ___________?
Correct answer: D. 1%
- A. 20%
- B. 15%
- C. 10%
- D. 1%
Explanation
Only about 1% of the incident solar energy is ultimately captured and stored as chemical energy by photosynthesis in green plants. Students may choose 10% by confusing the amount of light absorbed by a leaf with the much smaller fraction converted into stored chemical energy.
