Maximum sun energy trap by grass?
Answers
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare their own food in the presence of sunlight. So sun light is considered as the main fuel that helps in the process of food preparation. During this process water, carbon dioxide and energy reacts to complete the reaction and form glucose that is used as food by the green plants.
The process of trapping of solar energy by green plants would directly depend on the surface area that is exposed to the sun light that can trap it for triggering this reaction. More the surface area of green leaves, higher is the rate of photosynthesis.
The process of calculation of total amount of energy converted can be understood by Gibbs free energy that is equivalent t around 114kCal. In general the normal efficiency of eight molecules of a photon would generate around 30 percent or 381 kCal of energy during this process.
Grass on the other hand has a much narrower leaves that are actually exposed to the sun light, but you also need to keep in mind that grass can be best described as a cluster of green leaves where they work as a group or factory to trap the solar energy and carry out the process.
The sun is the primary source of energy to all living beings.
A type of algae called as spirulina which is also called as the ‘blue green algae’ traps the maximum or the optimal energy from the sun due to the presence of phycocyanin.
It is a water-soluble protein complex which allows the algae to store the energy from the sun.
These algae are used as dietary supplements due to their exceptional nutritional content and also contain vitamin B12.
The answer is algae.
Hence, False.
