Morning glory (also written as morning-glory) is the common name for over 1,000 species of flowering plants in the family Convolvulaceae, whose current taxonomy and systematics are in flux. Morning glory species belong to many genera, some of which are: 1  Calystegia.
Today, the average rate of energy capture by photosynthesis globally is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about three times the current power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100â115 thousand million metric tonnes of carbon into biomass per year.
The remaining 10% of the food is used to grow (or make biomass), SO the next organism that eats it only receives 10% of the original energy. For example, calories is a measure of food energy. A plant might make 100 calories of its own food by photosynthesis. It will use 90 calories to live and 10% to grow.
