Chapter 10, Problem 10.138QP
About 6.0 × 1013 kg of CO2 is fixed (converted to more complex organic molecules) by photosynthesis every year, (a) Assuming all the CO2 ends up as glucose (C6H12O6), calculate the energy (in kilojoules) stored by photosynthesis per year, (b) A typical coal-burning electric power station generates about 2.0 × 106 W per year. How many such stations are needed to generate the same amount of energy as that captured by photosynthesis (1 W = 1 J/s)?
