no plant cant survive without chlorophyll......as chlorophyll act as a medium for the process of photosynthesis in which they use sun light for the production of food(mainly glucose)..as a source of food...during night plant use glucose which they syntheise during day time but some aquatic plant which were present in sea where sunlight cant reach,such plant dont requried chlorophyll ....they use some other source for there energy chlorophyll is the green pigment...

∙ 15y agoplants need chlorophyll to do photosynthesis, which is their food source. So they need chlorophyll for life.

Energy needed for photosynthesis is absorbed by chlorophyll. So it is essential for photosynthesis

A photosynthetic pigment (accessory pigment; chloroplast pigment; antenna pigment) is a pigment that is present in chloroplasts or photosynthetic bacteria and captures the light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
Plants pigments (in order of increasing polarity):
Carotene: an orange pigment
Xanthophyll: a yellow pigment
Phaeophytin a[1]: a gray-brown pigment
Phaeophytin b[1]: a yellow-brown pigment
Chlorophyll a: a blue-green pigment
Chlorophyll b: a yellow-green pigment

How did a plant without the presence of chlorophyll make its own food?
There is no such thing as a plant without chlorophyll, unless you can tell me straight that you have seen a colorless plant that you can see right through. Dead plants lose their chlorophyll, though.
How do indoor plants grow without water and sunlight?
NO the plants need the sun to make the chlorophyll work and without the chlorophyll it will get all dry and die
Where do you get chlorophyll?
chlorophyll is located and produced in the chloroplasts in plant cells; plants do not 'get' chlorophyll, they produce it themselves.
How does chlorophyll help green plants?
Chlorophyll is helpful to plants because it gives them their green color. If a plant is green, it means they are healthy. SO it is pretty important. Hence the term cholorplasts which are the cells in the plant that helps them with chlorophyll.
What is the pigment that gives a plant its green color?
Chlorophyll a is the most abundant pigment and it is the pigment that reflects green.
What do chloropast contain?
Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the food that the plant uses to survive.
Name a fleshy plant without chlorophyll?
Orobanchae is a total root parasite plant without chlorophyll and it is fleshy in nature.
What do green plant need to survive?
Green plants can survive with sunlight,water,carbon dioxide and chlorophyll.
Is there a plant that does not need chlorophyll?
Yes there is 'Fungi' can surivive quite well without chlorophyll.
Why chlorophyll found in plant-like protist?
because plant like protists photosynthesize and wouldn't be able to photosynthesize without chlorophyll
Why is chlorophyll important to the plant cell?
Because without it, the plant won't be able to produce its food(photosynthesis). Chlorophyll traps sunlights and gives the plant its energy.
Why do all plants contain chlorophyll?
Chlorophyll is a pigment that makes photosynthesis in the plant and without photosynthesis there would be no glucose, oxygen, and water from the plant and the plant would ultimately die
How can the root cells of a plant survive without having chloroplasts?
how can the roots cell of a plant survive without having chloroplast
What would happen to a plant without chlorophyll?
The plant would lose its color and eventually start to wither.
Why does plant survive without green coloring pigment?
The green colouring pigment is chlorophyll. It occurs in the chloroplast of a plant's cells above ground. Sometimes plants have alternative pigments which they use to photosynthesise, or variations of chlorophyll which may be different colours. Alternately, mutants may be bred for decorative purposes that lack chloroplasts and chlorophyll, and in these cases all necessary nutrients must be provided by the cultivator by grafting the cells of the mutant onto a healthy plant.
What is a plant cell that absorbs energy called?
There is a cell inside a body of a plant called a chlorophyll. A chlorophyll is a part of the plant cell that collects energy from the sun and converts it into glucose for the plant to live on. A chlorophyll is very important for a plant and without it, the plant would die off.
Which part of the plant cannot work without the sun?
Chlorophyll can not produce the food necessary without the sun.
