Question

How much energy from the sun actually reaches the corn answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

It depends upon the sunlight intensity known as ALBEDO, the amount of energy used by photosynthesis and the chemical composition of corn.

Explanation:

Albedo is a measure of the amount of light reflected from an object. Albedo is normally expressed as a decimal value representing the percentage of light reflected.

Photosynthesis, a biological process, uses the energy of sunlight to manufacture sugar, which serves as the universal food for life. Oxygen produced as a product of photosynthesis is released into the environment.

The formula for this reaction is:

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

• where CO2 represents carbon dioxide

• H2O represents water

• C6H12O6 represents the sugar molecules (carbohydrate)

• and O2 represents oxygen

Answer 2

The energy from the sun that reaches the corn is about two billionths.
