1.	Question : Approximately how much of the solar energy that falls on the leaves of a plant is converted to chemical energy by photosynthesis ?
Answer» LESS than `1%` `2-10%` `30%` `50%` SOLUTION :Except for the deep SEA hydrothermal ecosystem, sun is the only source of energy for all ecosystems on earth of the incident solar radiation less then 50 per cent of its photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and 2 to `10 %` of solar energy is obtained by autotrophs and is converted into CHEMICAL energy by the process of photo synthesis.
