Best Answer

Plants have evolved to use the light of the Sun as a source of energy, they will do better in natural sunlight than artificial light.

Also sunlight causes no pollution as plats use it, while artificial light usually involves burning of fossil fuels to make and therefore using artificial lights to grow plants that can perfectly well use Sunlight is bad for the planet.

It depends on the plant, some plants can only grow in indirect light as direct light can burn the leaves. An example of this is the African Violet which should be grown in indirect light.

There are some plants, however, that require full sun and others that require shade. It depends on the genetic make-up of the plant.

Does photosynthetic bateria need sunlight to live?

Photosynthetic bacteria, like plants, are photoautotrophs, meaning they utilize sunlight and carbon dioxide to produce food. These type of bacteria will eventually die without the presence of sunlight.


Why can't green algae survive in deep water?

Marine algae are photosynthetic. At depths below 200m there is very little sunlight which would make photosynthesis extremely difficult.


How are protists and plants similar?

Plant-like protists are autotrophs. This means that they produce their own food. They perform photosynthesis to produce sugar by using carbon dioxide and water, and the energy from sunlight, just like plants. Unlike plants, however, plant-like protists do not have true stems, roots, or leaves.


Sunlights effect on plant growth?

"Plants don't eat like people do. Instead, they use sunlight for energy to grow and stay alive. If there were no plants, what would animals and people eat?people really need the sun. "As a tree grows it stores the sun's energy in its wood. When the wood is burned, it releases the sun's energy as heat and light. Sunlight is a necessity for plants to perform photosynthesis which is how they make food (glucose). This glucose is needed for the plant so survive and more is needed to help the plant grow. Without the solar energy from the sun plants can't live or grow. Also, if a plant does not receive enough sunlight, it will not grow as much as it would otherwise. However, too much sunlight can also harm plants. It depends on the particular plant as to how much sunlight is needed.

Can An Plant Grow With No Sunlight?

No, plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, a process in which they convert sunlight into energy to grow. Without sunlight, plants will not be able to produce energy and will not be able to grow properly.

Do sunflowers grow in sunlight?

Yes, like most plants, they require sunlight to grow. They use this sunlight in a process known as photosynthesis to create food for themselves.
