  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

When the energy of the sun converts into chemical energy for photosynthesis, the result is loss of energy as heat

The correct answer is 'False'.


    When the energy of the sun converts into chemical energy for photosynthesis or respiration, the result is the loss of energy as heat. Thus, the energy of the sun is essential for perpetuating the energy cycle in a balanced ecosystem.
    Hence, the given statement is false.
