Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​

Biology

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

What is the mass percent of hydrogen in ammonium phosphate, (NHÁ)ÀPOÁ?
Black_prince [1.1K]
The chemical formula of ammonium phosphate is (NH4)3PO4. There is 3*4=12 Hydrogen atom in one molecule ammonium phosphate. The total mass of one molecule is (14+4)*3+31+16*4=149. The mass of hydrogen atoms in one molecule is 3*4=12. So the mass percent of hydrogen is 12/149*100%=8.05%

The total amount of chemical energy produced by autotrophs, such as plants and phytoplankton, is called gross primary production
natima [27]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

a) Negative primary production

b) Net primary production

c) Secondary production

d) Negative secondary production

e) Positive primary production

The correct answer is b.

The total amount of chemical energy produced by autotrophs, such as plants and phytoplankton, is called gross primary production. The energy that remains after plants use some of the gross primary production to fuel their own metabolism is known as <u>net primary production</u>.

Explanation:

Net Primary Production (NPP) is the value that results from the difference between gross production and respiration of the primary producers themselves. It manifests as growth and / or reproduction. It represents the matter and energy available for the next trophic level, that is, the net primary production is what is left after subtracting the energy that plants use for their metabolism or maintenance (such as breathing, tissue construction and reproduction).
