(choose chapter or problem)

About 6.0 × 1013 kg of CO2 is fixed (converted to more complex organic molecules) by photosynthesis every year, (a) Assuming all the CO; ends up as glucosc (C6H12O6), calculate the energy (in kJ) 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 arc needed to generate the same amount of energy as that captured by photosynthesis (1 W = 1 J/s)?
