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.

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.


After being absorbed by plants solar energy transforms into what?

Chemical energy


What happens to light energy if it is not absorbed by producers?

If light energy is not absorbed by producers (plants and other photosynthetic organisms), it is either reflected, transmitted, or absorbed by other materials in the environment, such as soil or water. The energy may be converted into heat or be used by non-photosynthetic organisms for various processes.


Which form of energy is absorbed by green plants during phase1?

light energy


What happens to the energy from the suns rays?

The energy from the sun's rays is absorbed by the Earth's surface, oceans, and atmosphere. This energy is then converted into heat, which drives weather patterns, ocean currents, and the growth of plants through photosynthesis.


What happens to the solar energy absorbed by clorophyll?

The solar energy absorbed by chlorophyll is used during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This process is essential for plants to produce their own food and release oxygen into the atmosphere.


What happens to water that is not removed from land by evaporation?

This water is absorbed by plants.


Where does energy begin in a food chain?

All energy begins with the sun. It is absorbed by plants.


What happens to the rainfall absorbed by a rain forest?

The rainfall absorbed by a rainforest is used by the plants for photosynthesis, transpiration, and to support the ecosystem's diverse flora and fauna. Excess water infiltrates into the soil, replenishing groundwater reserves, and eventually flows into rivers and streams that help maintain the region's water cycle.


What process do plants use chlorophyll for?

For photosynthesis, where light energy is absorbed.


The original source of energy in a food chain is from the?

The sun its so simple
