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.
Where are there ecosystems that do not rely on sunlight?
in caves and deep under the sea where light wont reach
Why does all life depend on sunlight?
This is because a huge part of the plant population relies on the sun to stay alive and make its' food. These plants are producers. Consumers, like cows or lambs, rely on producers to feed them. We are also consumers and we too rely on plants, but we also eat other producers who rely on plant as their main food source. When consumers die, decomposers get energy and nutrients by breaking down the remain of dead organisms. So to sum it up, all these different kingdoms and species need plants, either directly like cows, or non directly like hawks.
Do fungi make food through photosynthesis?
No they are heterotrophic. They lack chloroplasts to convert sunlight into energy, so they rely on metabolizing organic compounds for energy.
Why do plants in the sunlight grow faster than the plants in the shade?
Plants rely on photosynthesis to create energy for all of their cellular functions. The more sun the plant takes in, the more energy it is able to produce, thus allowing it to grow faster.
Do snakes interact with sunlight?
no because they rely on it
Can chloroplasts make Glucose at night?
Chloroplasts must capture the sunlight during the day and make it into Glucose, STARCH, or store it in the mitochondria as ATP energy. After this happens they will then rely on the mitochondria for glucose at night. Either way, the plant must have energy at all times. Hence why it is stored in the mitochondria.
Do all things need sunlight?
Plants need sunlight, and every other living creature depends on plants existing. Most objects need to be created by humans who rely on animals that rely on plants, as well as needing plants. Just about everything needs sunlight.
Do plants need the color of the sunlight to make food?
No. Different chlorophylls (A and B) and accessory pigments (e.g. carotenes, phycobiliproteins) have different absorption spectra. The combination of different spectra determine the colors that the plant uses to perform photosynthesis. A regular green plant will use mostly red and blue-violet light to drive photosynthesis. Green light is mostly reflected and not used.

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.
Why cant deep water ecosystems rely on photosynthesis?
Because there is no light. Sunlight doesn't reach that far down.
How are plants affected by sunlight?
Plants need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis, where they convert sunlight into energy. Sunlight provides the energy needed for plants to produce glucose, which is then used as fuel for growth and development. Plants also rely on sunlight to regulate their growth patterns, including the direction and length of stems and leaves through a process called phototropism. However, excessive sunlight exposure can also cause damage to plants, leading to sunburn, wilting, and even death.

What does a plant need in order to make its own food?
Plants are autotrophic and produce "food" in the form of simple sugars through he process of photosynthesis. Physically the process of photosynthesis requires: light (not necessarily sunlight), Carbon Dioxide and water - and releases oxygen as a byproduct. While the plants still rely on external sources of nutrients (macro and micro elements) in order to perform other necessary metabolic functions.
How are sunlight and reproduction linked?
When I link sunlight and reproduction ( I'm only in 6th grade, so don't rely on my answer) I usually think of weeds and plants. They need sunlight to grow. If you give enough sunlight, tey will eventually spread to any given area. That's all I know
