A student measured the energy reaching an aquatic plant and the energy stored in new biomass made by the plant over the same period.
| Energy measured | Energy |
|---|---|
| Light reaching the plant | 120 kJ |
| Energy stored in new biomass | 1.8 kJ |
Calculate the percentage of the light energy reaching the plant that was stored in new biomass.
Explain how energy from the light reaching the plant came to be stored in its new biomass.
