3. 3 Photosynthetic Organisms All life on Earth depends on a star 93 million miles away
Provides photosynthesizers with solar energy
Photosynthesis:
A process that captures solar energy
Transforms solar energy into chemical energy
Energy ends up stored in a carbohydrate
Photosynthesizers produce all food energy
Only 42% of suns energy directed towards Earth reaches surface
Of this, only 2% is captured by photosynthesizers
Of this, only a tiny portion results in biomass
