Question

The percentage of solar radiation absorbed by all the green plants for the process of photosynthesis is about

• A. 1%
• B. 5%
• C. 8%
• D. 10%

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1%

Photosynthesis is the most important biological process on earth. It makes food and oxygen available to all the heterotrophs. Green plants are autotrophs which trap solar energy and convert it into food for their own as well as consumption of all other heterotrophs. Plants typically trap 1 percent of the available solar energy in the process of photosynthesis.

So, the correct answer is option A.
