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.
What else can I help you with?
Does grass absorb energy sun?
Yes, grass is a type of plant that undergoes photosynthesis, a process where sunlight is absorbed by the plant's chlorophyll to produce energy for growth and metabolism. This is how grass absorbs energy from the sun.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
What layer of the atmosphere do oxygen and nitrogen atoms absorb energy from the sun?
Oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the Earth's atmosphere absorb energy from the sun in the thermosphere. This is the layer of the atmosphere that experiences the highest temperatures due to the absorption of solar radiation.
What kind of energy can be generated from the sun?
The energy that is emitted from the sun is called solar energy. Our eyes use this energy to see colour.
What kind of energy that leaves convert the sun's light energy into?
Solar panels convert the sun's light energy into electrical energy.
Does grass absorb energy sun?
Yes, grass is a type of plant that undergoes photosynthesis, a process where sunlight is absorbed by the plant's chlorophyll to produce energy for growth and metabolism. This is how grass absorbs energy from the sun.
What kind of living thing get energy directly from the sun?
Grass, plants,etc
How much does grass absorb from the sun?
279.346%
What provides energy for grass?
Grass takes energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Therefore, the sun provides energy for grass.
How energy stored by grass is transferred to the hawk?
Grass stores energy through photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy. When a hawk consumes a herbivore that has eaten the grass, it obtains the stored energy in the form of nutrients like proteins and carbohydrates. The hawk then metabolizes these nutrients to fuel its own energy needs.
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.
Where does grass gets it energy from?
The sun.
What is the source of energy for the grass?
The Sun.
What form of energy is in grass?
Grass contains carbon which was taken out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis using the Sun's energy. The grass can be burned to recover the energy as heat.
What provides the energy for grass?
The Sun and rain.
