Vedclass · Answer

(C) Plants capture only a small fraction of the incident solar radiation for photosynthesis. Out of the total incident solar radiation,less than $50\;\%$ is Photosynthetically Active Radiation $(PAR)$. Plants capture only $2 - 10\;\%$ of the $PAR$ for Gross Primary Productivity $(GPP)$. However,for Net Primary Productivity $(NPP)$,the energy captured is approximately $0.8 - 4\;\%$ of the total incident solar radiation.

$(b)$ Net Primary Productivity	$(2)$ $SP$
$(c)$ Secondary Productivity	$(3)$ $GPP$

For net primary productivity,the energy captured is:
