Trees (plants) need sunlight in order to photosynthesize. That is to trap some of the sun's energy in the manufacture of sugar. Plants don't eat they get their food from the sun and all things that eat plants (including you and me) could not exist without plants doing this. The energy that enables you to lift your arm came from the sun!

∙ 13y ago- Some trees are evergreens and do not shed their leaves every year. Others are deciduous and lose their leaves each autumn. New leaves grow in the spring. Whether or not the leaves have an annual cycle, it is inside the leaves where trees process sunlight.
- The only parts of a tree that are green are the leaves. The green areas of plants contain chlorophyll, the green pigment that is responsible for absorbing sunlight. There the light energy combines with carbon dioxide in a process called photosynthesis. The result is sugar to feed the plant and oxygen, which is released into the air.
- In addition to providing nourishment for the trees themselves, the process of photosynthesis uses up the carbon dioxide from the air. People exhale carbon dioxide. When we burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is released. This contributes to the problem of global warming, which threatens to hurt our climate and the earth. One of the most valuable things that we can do to prevent global warming is to plant more trees.
- Trees block half of the sun from the rest of the plants in a forest area. This is one reason that the tallest trees in the forest tend to be the species that get their spring leaves later than the other plants. When a really tall tree dies, the saplings that have been growing in its shade spring up. There may be several saplings near a mature tree that stay fairly short until the dead tree exposes them to the light. Then the sapling that grows the fastest will dominate the forest canopy, and the other smaller trees may die.
- Only a few species of trees can tolerate less than half a day of sunlight. These tend to be the shorter trees in the forest. They include birch, dogwood, magnolia and redbud trees.

∙ 15y agoTrees need light to grow because of photosynthesis, which is basicly how a plant grows.

Does trees absorb sun light?
Trees don't absorb sunlight as such but more USE sunlight to convert into energy through a process called photosynthatsis.
What is the use of light in photosynthesis?
Plant's need sunlight to grow.
What are adaptations of lianas?
They use other trees to make their way to the canopy where they can photosynthesize and have maximum sunlight coverage. They are thin and flexible so they can make their way to the canopy via the best route and so they twist around trees.
Why do plants go around the sun?
Plants grow by photosynthesis in which they use sunlight as energy. In other ways, plants must have light to grow
What are four major differences between fungi and plants?
Fungi-Do not use water, nor sunlight to grow. Plants-Uses water and sunlight to grow. Fungi-Do not make their own food. Plants-Make their own food.
What is sunlight used for?
we use sunlight to help our crops grow. Sunlight is also important to our clothes because it helps our clothes dry and gave it vitamin D. sunlight kills germs from our clothes.
Why do few plants grow on the forest floor?
very little sunlight makes it to the rainforest floor
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.
Does trees absorb sun light?
Trees don't absorb sunlight as such but more USE sunlight to convert into energy through a process called photosynthatsis.
Why might the trees in a coniferous forest compete with each other?
They use sunlight,water,food and shelter
How can I get avacadoes to ripen more quickly?
Use special fertilizer and give it plenty of sunlight. Also if they grow at the angle of the sun that is suppsosed to help.
What is the use of light in photosynthesis?
Plant's need sunlight to grow.
What elements helps plants grow?
Carbon dioxide and sunlight help plants grow but without carbon dioxide plants can't do photosynthesis so if there's no carbon dioxide there's no photosynthesis and if the plant can't do photosynthesis it can't use the sunlight and will die.
Can mushroom grow without sunlight?
Yes, mushrooms can technically grow without sunlight. They obtain all of their nutrients from the soil but they tend to use ambient light to produce vitamin D.
How do you use trees?
I plant..... water........grow.........eat
What are adaptations of lianas?
They use other trees to make their way to the canopy where they can photosynthesize and have maximum sunlight coverage. They are thin and flexible so they can make their way to the canopy via the best route and so they twist around trees.
What are lianes and where do they grow?
lianes are plants that clamber over and dangle from rainforest trees. they grow very long, and animals such as monkeys and squirrels use lianes to help them move through the branches.
