Ok, think about it. Does your skin prevent germs from getting inside you?
Does your skin prevent water from leaving the body too quickly? Does your skin protect your insides from getting damaged when you fall? Do you put food on your skin to absorb nutrients, or do you put food in your mouth like a normal person?
Answer:
here's your answer
Explanation:
the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.
Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves
Well there are three reasons
it drains into rivers, streams, etc. or
it seeps into soil and gather underground as ground-water
or
falls into high mountains and freeze and in the summer it will melt and flows into the rivers
Water is polar. Lipids are non-polar.
