Plants usually convert light into chemical energy with a photosynthetic efficiency of 3-6%. Absorbed light that is unconverted is dissipated primarily as heat, with a small fraction (1-2%) re-emitted as chlorophyll fluorescence at longer (redder) wavelengths.
Actual plants' photosynthetic efficiency varies with the frequency of the light being converted, light intensity, temperature and proportion of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and can vary from 0.1% to 8%. By comparison, solar panels convert light into electric energy at an efficiency of approximately 6-20% for mass-produced panels, and above 40% in laboratory devices.
Photosynthesis measurement systems are not designed to directly measure the amount of light absorbed by the leaf. Nevertheless, the light response curves that systems like the LCpro-SD produce, do allow comparisons in photosynthetic efficiency between plants.
more light more efficient less light less efficient
Photosynthesis is only about 2-5% efficient. A lot of energy is lost as waste.
It take place in the light reaction. It take place on thylakoid membranes

A chemical reaction. Also photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is when the plants get minerals from the sun, to make plant food, the sun is the energy which is then turned to chemical from photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis the energy of light is transformed in chemical energy.
Plants convert solar energy to chemical energy.
Photosynthesis is an example of the conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
The body converts the chemical energy of food to the chemical energy of ATP with about 50 percent efficiency, radiating the rest as heat.

Photosynthesis is the conversion of light into energy. Digestion is the conversion of food into energy.
The photosynthetic efficiency is the fraction of light energy converted into chemical energy 68% of the utilized energy is lost in conversion into d-glucose.
Photolysis is the splitting of water during photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process which results in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
