How do the plants in a rainforest contribute to the water cycle?

They remove water from the soil and put it into the atmosphere in a process called transpiration.

<span>Water is removed from the soil and transported to the leaves in a liquid form, and during photosynthesis is converted to a gaseous form and released out the stomata of the leaves. Plant respiration can contribute much more moisture to the atmosphere than simple evaporation in an area like a rainforest.</span>

Answer:

Plants in a rainforest contribute to the amount of precipitation through the process of transpiration. Transpiration occurs when plants release water in the process of photosynthesis. The large number of plants in the rainforest produces a large amount of water, releasing up to 80% of the water they absorb back into the ecosystem as water vapor. This water vapor can then be returned to the soil for in the form of precipitation. This movement of water from the soil and back into the atmosphere is a key component of the water cycle.

A student crested a model to show the flow of energy in a terrestrial ecosystem.

Answer:

In an ecosystem, energy enters in the form of solar energy or light energy from sun. Solar energy is transformed into various other types of energies like kinetic energy, chemical energy, potential energy, etc; but it eventually leaves the ecosystem in the form of heat energy.

Kinetics is the study of the speed of a chemical reaction some chemical reactions are fast others are slow sometimes chemists want to speed the slow ones up and slow the fast ones down

What percent of the sunlight is actually converted into chemical energy via photosynthesis?

kirill115 [55]

Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants and few organisms use sunlight to synthesize their food from carbon di- oxide and water. In plants, during photosynthesis, green pigment known as chlorophyll is involved and oxygen is generated at a by product.

All the sunlight falling on plant is not absorbed. Only half of the falling light which lies in the right frequency to power photosynthesis is absorbed. Out of this falling light, only 8 % to 11% is absorbed by the plant and only 3 % to 6 % is actually used to form chemical energy.
