Photosynthetic efficiency refers to

Question

a) That part of photosynthetic active radiation received by the plant that is fixed into
chemical energy through photosynthesis
b) The efficiency of the root system in simulating photosynthesis in the leaves
c) That part of the water that was absorbed by the plant and is used in processes such as
photosynthesis
d) The efficiency of the plant to utilize the oxygen that was absorbed during photosynthesis
e) All of the above
f) None of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

a) That part of photosynthetic active radiation received by the plant that is fixed into chemical energy through photosynthesis

Photosynthetic efficiency specifically refers to how effectively plants convert light energy (from photosynthetically active radiation - PAR) into chemical energy during the process of photosynthesis. The other options do not accurately describe the concept of photosynthetic efficiency.
