Of the light energy from the Sun that falls onto the water, only 3% becomes incorporated into the phytoplankton. Suggest three reasons why only 3% of the energy is incorporated into the phytoplankton - any 3 of: idea of, some is reflected ; some is absorbed by the water OR blocked by, objects / sediment ; some wavelengths / colours are unsuitable (for photosynthesis) ; some does not hit chlorophyll / chloroplast ; photosynthesis is not (100%) efficient ;
