Solar energy
The main form of energy taken by the leaf during photosynthesis is light energy from the sun. This energy is captured by pigments in the chloroplasts of the leaf, such as chlorophyll, and converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
The potential energy stored in the leaf is converted to kinetic energy as it falls from a tree.
If by 'leaf factory' you mean the leaves of plants, then the source of free energy is the Sun, in the form of sunlight form the Sun.
A leaf primarily uses solar energy to undergo photosynthesis, converting sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process provides the leaf with the energy it needs to carry out its functions within the plant.
The sun supplies energy in the form of sunlight to the leaf through photosynthesis. This energy enables the leaf to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a form of sugar that provides food and nutrients for the plant.
Most of the light energy enters the leaf through the chloroplasts, specifically through the chlorophyll pigments found in the thylakoid membranes. This is where photosynthesis takes place, converting light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
The form of a leaf is typically flat and broad to maximize surface area for photosynthesis. This shape allows the leaf to efficiently capture sunlight and absorb carbon dioxide for the process of photosynthesis. Additionally, the thinness of the leaf enables gases to easily diffuse in and out of the leaf.
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
In an endothermic reaction, heat is taken in from the environment. Heat is a form of energy. Therefore, energy is taken in, i.e. absorbed.
When light energy strikes a leaf, some of it is absorbed by pigments in the leaf for photosynthesis, some is reflected, and some is transmitted through the leaf. The absorbed light energy is converted into chemical energy by the leaf for use in metabolic processes.
Yes, a leaf blower operates by converting mechanical energy into wind energy to push leaves and debris.
Yes, a leaf on a branch does have potential energy due to its position above the ground. When the leaf falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it descends.
