The sun supplies energy at a rate of about 1.0 kilowatt per square meter of surface area (1 watt = 1 J/s). The plants in an agricultural field produce the equivalent of 20. kg sucrose (C12H22O1l) per hour per hectare (1 ha = 10.000 m2). Assuming that sucrose is produced by the reaction
calculate the percentage of sunlight used to produce the sucrose—that is, determine the efficiency of photosynthesis.
