No it can't

Yes it can, with a broad definition of 'light'. There exist a fungus that grows inside the chernobyl ruins that has so much melanin in it, it is nearly black. The melanin can absorb the radioactive (gamma) radiation that is abundant there, converting it to food, the same way chlorophyll captures light (which is just radiation with a much lower frequency than gamma radiation) and converts it to food.

How is light linked to photosynthesis?

if photosynthesis is to take place you need light.


Can artificial light bring about photosynthesis?

YES photosynthesis can be brought by artificial light


Can photosynthesis occur without light?

No, photosynthesis cannot occur without light. Light is a necessary component for the process of photosynthesis to take place in plants.


How will light affect photosynthesis?

Light allows photosynthesis to occur. Therefore more light=faster reaction.


Which light has the least affect on photosynthesis?

Green light has the least effect on photosynthesis because it is poorly absorbed by chlorophyll, which is the pigment responsible for capturing light energy during photosynthesis. This means that plants do not use green light as efficiently as other colors for photosynthesis.


How does light absorption work in the process of photosynthesis?

During photosynthesis, plants absorb light energy through pigments like chlorophyll in their chloroplasts. This light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The pigments absorb specific wavelengths of light, primarily in the blue and red regions of the spectrum, which triggers the chemical reactions necessary for photosynthesis to occur.


What will happen when the light in photosynthesis is over supply?

If the light is over, photosynthesis process will stop.


Why is chlorophyll's effiency in absorbing light energy important for photosynthesis?

Light energy is essential in photosynthesis.


Can photosynthesis happen under too much light?

no in too much light photosynthesis stops.


At what color of light does photosynthesis occur best?

Photosynthesis occurs best in blue and red light.


What effect does the amount of light have on photosynthesis?

Light intensity directly affects the rate of photosynthesis. As light intensity increases, so does the rate of photosynthesis, up to a certain point where the rate levels off or decreases. Plants require a certain amount of light to carry out photosynthesis efficiently.
