A potato plant has leaves above ground that 'catches' sunlight and photosynthesises. The energy is shared with the rest of the plant including the roots where the potatoes are formed.
No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.
they get sunlight by photosynthesis
A potato is a plant and all plants are producers. Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food from the substances available in their surroundings using light (photosynthesis) or chemical energy (chemosynthesis). Plants are called both autotrophs and producers.
The potato is a producer. It is a plant that performs photosynthesis, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create its own food. As a producer, it forms the base of the food chain, providing energy for consumers such as herbivores and omnivores that eat it.
Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight in photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis happens rapidly when there is sunlight. Sunlight is a main factor necessary for Photosynthesis. So if the temperature is not hot enough, photosynthesis might not happen as rapidly as it happens when the sunlight is directly there.
it is photosynthesis
Glucose doesn't use sunlight. Instead, plants use photosynthesis to make glucose.
You could eat it. The calories in it are a measure of the energy it stores for nutrition. You could, perhaps, dry it and then burn it for heat. Bit of a waste of a good potato if you ask me. You could stick a length of copper and a length of zinc into it and use it to provide electrical energy. It's not as good as lemons, but it still works. It occurs to me that if you throw the potato, it will have kinetic energy but the energy has been put into the potato by your arm, so that probably doesn't count.
Original Answer: how do i know!! ask chuck norris!! Edited Answer: Yes, potatoes are considered multicellular organisms, because they are able to produce their own food from inorganic matter (photosynthesis). They can get carbohydrates from carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, as well as using sunlight to provide energy through Chlorophyll. This is why when you store potatoes in your home, they should be away from sunlight, as the tuber (actual potato) can use the sunlight to begin to sprout (draining moisture from the potato) and the sunlight can cause Chlorophyll to develop just under the skin. Chlorophyll can be deadly, however small amounts will not cause illness (such as on some potato chips, the thin, green edge some have). So, if your potatoes have been exposed to sunlight, prior to cooking, you should trim away any green areas. If the green/Chlorophyll is relatively deep into the potato, it is safer to discard that potato.
It doesnt exactly trigger it, but sunlight is needed to complete the process Photosynthesis is powered up by light.It is very essential for photosynthesis
