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

The photosynthetic efficiency is the fraction of light energy converted into chemical energyduring photosynthesis in plants and algae. Photosynthesis can be described by the simplified chemical reaction
6H2O + 6CO2 + energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
where C6H12O6 is glucose (which is subsequently transformed into other sugars, cellulose, lignin, and so forth). The value of the photosynthetic efficiency is dependent on how light energy is defined – it depends on whether we count only the light that is absorbed, and on what kind of light is used (see Photosynthetically active radiation). It takes eight (or perhaps 10 or more[1]) photons to utilize one molecule of CO2.
