Question

The abiotic factor essential for the process of photosynthesis in plants is

• A. A species which adds up only a small proportion of the total biomass of a community yet has a huge impact on the community’s organization and survival.
• B. A common species that has plenty of biomass, yet has a fairly low impact on the community’s organization
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A A species which adds up only a small proportion of the total biomass of a community yet has a huge impact on the community’s organization and survival.

Light or sunlight is the abiotic factor responsible for the process of photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other green organisms make food. During photosynthesis, green plants capture the light energy and use it to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into sugar. Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis.
