Little solar energy is converted to organic matter because over 90% is reflected or unabsorbed, not all wavelengths are used, light doesn't reach chlorophyll, or limiting factors like CO₂ slow photosynthesis.
Puțina energie solară este convertită în materie organică deoarece peste 90% este reflectată sau neabsorbită, nu toate lungimile de undă sunt utilizate, lumina nu ajunge la clorofilă, sau factori precum CO₂ limitativ încetinesc fotosinteza.
Front | Why is there a lack of the suns energy being converted into organic matter |
---|---|
Back | Over 90% of suns energy is reflected back into space by clouds and dust not all wavelengths of light can be absorbed and used for photosynthesis light may not fall on a chlorophyll molecule factor such as low CO₂ may limit the rate of photosynthesis |
