About 1000J radiant energy comes to the earth from the sun. Out of this, only 10% of the total energy is used up by green plants in the process of Photosynthesis. Remaining 990J of energy escapes away into the atmosphere. 10J of energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in starch and sugars.
The environment has two basic components: Biotic and Abiotic. The biotic components of an ecosystem are living beings—plants, animals, and…
