NEET Botany Food Chains & Webs MCQ Question
If a plant captures 6% of the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) from the incident solar radiation, what percentage of the total solar radiation does it capture?
Less than 3%
Exactly 3%
More than 3% but less than 6%
More than 6%
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Plants capture only 2-10% of the PAR, which is less than 50% of the incident solar radiation. 6% of 50% is 3%, so the plant captures less than 3% of the total solar radiation.
