The majority of our photosynthesis on Earth in fact takes place in the oceans, by organisms known as a dinoflagellates.
Photosynthesis is not limited to green plants (though the majority is), appropriate red and brown photosynthesis processes take place in the red and brown marine algae for example.
Even for green photosynthesis, there are three different chlorophyll pathways, (known as C3, C4, and CAM), each with different efficiencies, and plant applications.
The amount of solar energy absorbed by Terran biota is estimated at 130 Terrawatts, which is about six times the present day power generation of civilization.
Glancing out your window, you'll see that the green portion of sunlight is in fact rejected by the chloroplasts - they obtain their energy from other wavelengths. That is why they appear green- it is the other wavelengths that are absorbed. The actual chloroplasts that run the reactions appear green.
The magic of photosynthesis is not the green apppearance - it is the fact that the reaction splits water intpo H and O. The H is used by the plant to make further complex biochemicals, and the O is discharged as a waste gas.

According to the American Grassfed Association member Martha Holdridge, owner of West Wind Farm, used soil samples to determine that her West Virginia farm sequestered 15 tons of CO2 per acre in 5 years (2002 - 2007). Which after some calculations means that 1sq m of grass absorbs aprox. 1.9g of CO2/day.

Does grass absorb energy sun?
yes it does!! :)
How do lions get their energy from the sun?
Lions eat zebras, who eat grass, who obtain energy from the sun.
What layer of the atmosphere do oxygen and nitrogen atoms absorb energy from the sun?
The Thermosphere does.
Why does all energy on earth start with the sun?
Good question. Since the Sun is our primary power source, it is the first step in analyzing where the energy from something comes from. Let's look at a nice T-bone steak for example. So on a bright, sunny day, the Sun is shining down on some grass. The grass grows enough and then the cattle farmer lets his heard out to graze. So the cow takes in the grass which was already taking in energy from the Sun. The cow will continue to do this, gathering food from the grass and therefore, energy from the Sun. The next step is a consumer buying the meat at a grocery store. When you cook and eat the steak, you will be consuming food in the form of that cow, which got its energy form the grass, which in turn got its energy from the Sun. Thus, the Sun is our source of energy for everything in our world. Everything can thus be traced back to the Sun as its primary supplier of energy.
What kind of energy can be captured from the sun?
solar energy
Does grass absorb energy sun?
yes it does!! :)
How energy stored by grass is transferred to the hawk?
A flock of sheep are grazing in a field. As they eat, the sheep break down the molecules in the grass, which releases energy. Which form of energy is stored in the grass?
How much does grass absorb from the sun?
279.346%
What kind of living thing get energy directly from the sun?
Grass, plants,etc
What provides energy for grass?
Grass takes energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Therefore, the sun provides energy for grass.
How does energy from the sun get to a rabbit?
The grass gets it's energy from the sun and then the rabbit eats the grass.
Do grass grow by absorbing nutrients from the air and sun?
Well.... yes and no. They don't absorb NUTRIENTS from the air or sun, that comes from their roots in the soil. They receive carbon dioxide from the air, and this is absorbed through their leaves. They absorb energy from the sun in the form of UV rays.... but these are not nutrients... merely necessary energy to drive the processes in their metabolism.
Does chloroplast absorb energy and manufacture it?
Chloroplast do not produce energy.They absorb energy of sun light.
What is the Difference between oceans and land absorb the Sun's energy?
Land reflects the Sun's energy slowly, while oceans absorb it more quickly.
What is the source of energy for the grass?
The Sun.
Where does grass gets it energy from?
The sun.
What kind of energy transformation is it if a plant uses energy from the sun?
The plant transforms electromagnetic energy (light) into chemical energy in photosynthesis.
