Raw ingredients for Photosynthesis Light Leaf Pigment chloroplast
Photosynthesis is not a very efficient process. Of the sunlight reaching the surface of a leaf, approximately how much is : • 75% is evaporated • 15% is reflected • 5% is transmitted through the leaf • 4% is converted to heat energy • 1% is used in photosynthesis
What wavelength of light is most effective in filamentous green alga?
