Account for all free of occidente upon a leaf. Assume incoming sunlight carrying 1000 units of energy. Provide approximate percentage breakdowns of where that energy ends up in a typical photosynthetic plant cell. Of the three types of main plant cells which one is most likely to be performing this photosynthesis?

Of the three types of main plant cells which one is most likely to be performing this photosynthesis?
Solution
-It is well known that if 1000 units of sunlight is incoming on to th earth only 1% will be available to plants for use.
- That means only 10units of sunlight the plant utilizes for photosynthesis.
- Of these 9 units i.e. 90% will be lost as heat by the plants.
- Hence only 1 units of incoming sunlight actually consumed for photosynthesis.
- Of the three types of main plant cells, the one most likely performing this photosyntheis are chloroplasts (found in mesophyll layer).
