What eventually happens to the energy in plants absorbed by the sun?

The sun's radiation warms the surface of the earth. Heat then rises from the warm earth in the form of infrared radiation. This heat is absorbed by greenhouse gases and adds warmth to the atmosphere.

Glucose is the plant's form of food and is carried via the phloem down the stem to the rest of the plant. The oxygen for the most part is a waste product however some of it is used in cellular respiration.

Which form of energy is absorbed by green plants during phase1?
light energy
What happens to water that is not removed from land by evaporation?
This water is absorbed by plants.
What happens during earthquakes?
huge destruction and complete death
What form of energy is absorbed my the chloroplast?
Chlorophyll absorbs certain wave lengths of light in the transference of heat driving the plants osmosis and cell building activities.
Energy is collected from the plant by chloroplasts?
Energy is collected FOR plants, not FROM plants by chloroplasts. So if you are trying to answer the 5th grade biology homework, that's the word to change.
What happens to the solar energy absorbed by plants during photosyntesis?
Stored as chemical energy in glucose
Is energy relseased when photoshythis happens?
No. In fact, energy is absorbed and trapped in the plant. This is probably the main reason that cows and humans eventually come along, rip up the plants, tear them to shreds, and eat them.
What happens to the rainfall absorbed by a rain forest?
1/4 of it is absorbed into the ground. The rest of the rainfall sustains the plants and animals living in the forest, and eventually evaporates back into the atmosphere.
After being absorbed by plants solar energy transforms into what?
Chemical energy
Which form of energy is absorbed by green plants during phase1?
light energy
Where does energy begin in a food chain?
All energy begins with the sun. It is absorbed by plants.
What happens to water that is not removed from land by evaporation?
This water is absorbed by plants.
The original source of energy in a food chain is from the?
The sun its so simple
What process do plants use chlorophyll for?
For photosynthesis, where light energy is absorbed.
Where does energy come from that allows you to grow taller?
Protien and calcium absorbed from food and nitrogen absorbed from plants and the air.
What is the solar energy use for?
electricity absorbed by chlorophyll in plants and is converted into sugar - energy by the process of photosynthesis
Is energy absorbed or reflected by earth?
The solar energy that reaches the Earth is called insolation.Of the incoming solar radiation 16% is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere, 3%is absorbed by clouds and 51%is absorbed by the earth's surface, making a total of 70%.
