NEET Botany Energy Flow MCQ Question
If a plant captures 5% of the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and the total incident solar radiation is 1000 units, how much energy is available for the next trophic level?
25 units
50 units
5 units
5 units
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The plant captures 5% of PAR. Given that PAR is less than 50% of incident solar radiation, the calculation is 5% of 50% of 1000 units, which is 50 units.
