Cells as the basic units of living organisms — practice question

The diagram illustrates how energy passes along a food chain. Sunlight supplies $1 \times 10^{6}\ \text{kJ m}^{-2}\ \text{y}^{-1}$ to green plants. The green plants have $27\,000\ \text{kJ m}^{-2}\ \text{y}^{-1}$, and $3000\ \text{kJ m}^{-2}\ \text{y}^{-1}$ is dissipated as energy. What percentage of the energy is used by the green plants for photosynthesis?

  • A$0.03\%$
  • B$0.30\%$
  • C$2.70\%$
  • D$3.00\%$
