light
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.
In a leaf factory, energy is primarily used for processes such as photosynthesis, where sunlight is converted into chemical energy by chlorophyll in the leaves. Additionally, energy is consumed in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) during cellular respiration, which powers various metabolic activities. Water and nutrients absorbed from the soil also play crucial roles in these energy processes. Overall, the factory relies on solar energy as its main source, supplemented by chemical energy from nutrients.
The part of the plant which is considered the "food factory" is the leaves. This is because this is the part of the plant where photosynthesis occurs which makes the food for the plant.
The sun supplies light energy to a leaf through the process of photosynthesis. This energy is used by the leaf to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which provides the plant with food and energy for growth.
factory
Leaf is a food factory for a plant. In it food is prepared with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide and chllorophyl. It also losses un used water by stomata
Not really. The solar energy is used by the leaf to make glucose using water and CO2. Consider solar energy the fire when someone is cooking. :)
That would really depend on the size of the factory! Also, what time period is considered - it usually makes more sense to talk about the POWER such a factory uses, than about the energy - that is, the energy used per time unit.
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
in a factory !
Mitochondria produce the energy that is used in the cells. They are commonly referred to the energy factory of powerhouse of the cells.
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.
