Question

The .......... in a terrestrial ecosystem capture about 1% of the energy of sunlight that falls on their leaves and convert it into food energy

Answer 1

Herbaceous plants are plants with very flexible stems. Woody plants include trees and shrubs. These are the plants present in the terrestrial ecosystem. They capture about 1 % solar energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis. In this process carbon dioxide and water are used in presence of sunlight to synthesize nutrients such carbohydrates in the form of glucose and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
