The plants convert roughly 1% of the Sun's energy into chemical energy. As you move up the trophic level, roughly 10% is transferred.
Also, the reason '100% of the energy' doesn't transfer is because the organism must perform cellular respiration.

∙ 13y agotheres not a scientific claim of the percentage although it catches 100 terrawatts of sunlight.
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago17.8% based on the total array of the electromagnetic spectrum (solar radiation) is used in the process of photosynthesis
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoonly aroun 3 % of sunlight is used rest is reflected back

What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
The energy plants use during photosynthesis comes from what?
The energy for photosynthesis comes from the sun. This solar energy is converted to chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
What percent of light energy is fixed during photosynthesis?
plants only capture 1% of the radiant enery from the sun used in photosynthesis.
The source of energy for the process of photosynthesis?
Electrons are used as an exchange currency during photosynthesis. The energy that provides the boost for these electrons comes from the electron transport chain.
Why can the granum and thylakoid structures be described as solar collectors?
They collect light energy from the Sun, which can be used during the process of photosynthesis.
What is the form of energy used in photosynthesis?
Solar energy
What energy is used to fuel the process of photosynthesis?
Solar energy.
How can fossil fuels be used as solar energy?
The hydrocarbons used in the fossil fuel are the product of photosynthesis, that took place in the plants of carboniferous age. Since photosynthesis require solar energy, these fossil fuels have also been derived from solar energy.
What is energy that is collected from the sun's radiation?
The energy that is collected from the sun's radiation is referred to as solar power. Solar power can be used in a priority of applications. Solar power is becoming more and more prevalent.
What are the materials used for absorbing solar energy?
Any good absorber or conductor of short wave radiation like air, black substances etc. absorbs solar radiation finely as the sun emits short waves in the form of solar radiation.
What pigments do plants use to carry out photosynthesis and what do these pigments do specifically for the process?
Chlorophyll a & b, caroten and xanthophyll are photosynthetic pigments used by plants. These pigments capture various wavelengths of solar radiation for energy transformation.
What is is the energy used in photosynthesis?
Solar energy is used.That energy is stored in glucose
Photosynthesis used solar energy and converts it to what type of energy?
Chemical energy
What is solarimeter?
an instrument used to measure the flux of solar radiation through a surface.
Of all the water moving into a leaf about what percent is used in photosynthesis membrane functions and other activities?
90 percent
Why isn't nuclear waste have its radiation used for solar power?
Because nuclear waste doesn't give off the same radiation as the sun.
What types of hazardous substances are used or created in the production of solar power and nuclear power?
Radiation
