Question
Chapter 11, Problem 11.4CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The path of flow of energy and their interconversions from the moment of capture of solar energy to the synthesis of ATP.
Introduction: Plants have the ability to produce their own food. This is so because they have pigments such as chlorophyll which have the ability to capture the energy stored in the sunlight and convert it to other forms. These conversions are necessary for the utilization of the sun’s light.
