Actually plants do grow in the dark! However, they still need sunlight to capture energy in order to grow. Plants that grow in the dark are known as CAM plants. CAM plants are often found in the dessert and include cacti, cycads, lycopods, an pineapples. They capture sunlight during they day and produce carbohydrates at night. Carbohydrates are the building blocks the plants use for structural material and stored energy.

Do plants need more light or dark?
light = photosynthesis !
Plants that produce oxaloacetic acid instead of PGA during the dark reactions of photosynthesis are called?
C4 Plants
Why do plants grow the best in dark lights?
They don't. Plants need the light, sunlight, to get photosynthesis to grow and not die.
Where do plants get carbon dioxide for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.
Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?
Plants need photons in order to photosynthesize. There are photons which we cannot see, such as UV rays, but most plant energy comes from light which we can see. Also, remember that different plants absorb different kinds of light.
Could you grow plants in the dark?
no,.because they could not perform photosynthesis in the dark

Do plants need carbon dioxide to photosynthesis?
carbon is needed during photosynthesis as it is the source of glucose.in entire dark reaction it is needed. plz go for dark reaction,you will be satisfied.
When do plants do photosynthesis and respiration?
In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.
Do plant grow well in a dark place?
No, plants need sunlight for photosynthesis. Mold grows well in dark places.
