Answer 2

Answer:

Only 2% of the sunlight is captured by plant to convert into food energy.

Explanation:

• Plants capture sun’s energy via the Chlorophyll A during the light reaction of photosynthesis.
• It is the process where the plant absorb the sun’s energy as packets of energy called photons.
• These photons strike the chloroplasts to excite it to a state, which can produce one or more ATP via hydrogen ion gradient.
• Now, this part of sunlight is only available for photosynthesis, depending on the leaf surface, the light capturing capacity and the transparency of leaf.
