Statement I: Of the incident solar radiation less than 20 per cent of it is photosynthetically active radiation (PAR).
Statement II: Plants capture only 2-10 per cent of the PAR.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
About 50% of the incident solar radiation is photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), not less than 20%, so Statement I is wrong.
Plants generally capture only about 2–10% of PAR for photosynthesis, so Statement II is correct.
