How does artificial light effect plants?

Answer 1

Plants use light to do photosynthesis, which takes carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce sugar.

If we keep a plant without sunlight will it grow or die? in my thoughts plants will not grow. so, light is necessary for growth of the plants.

without light plants cant survive.

They use a certain gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) for food which is also what we release as waste from cellular respiration. Plants release oxygen as waste in return.

Answer 2

The blue and red colors have the greatest impact on the growth of plants while the green light is the least effective. The flowering plants need more of the red light than the other types of color. Plants use light to make their food.

Answer 3

Artificial light is usually sufficient for most plants as long as it is on for a good length of time. It is important to understand that flowering plants NEED a dark period, this is sometimes a problem if artificial lights are left on overnight for long periods of time.

Natural light is much better as it stimulates more growth but you can get artificial lights that are nearly as good as the sun. Occasionally, a plant will grow straggly due to insufficient light as it attempts to grow very tall to get to the sun (light).

Answer 4

Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis. Water + carbon dioxide --> (with light) --> oxygen + glucose The more light there is the more it will grow Plants grow towards the light source this is phototropism.

Answer 5

How plant growth is affected by artificial light depends on the type of light that is being discussed. While all plants grow best in natural light, plants can an do grow and thrive under artificial lighting conditions. Overall, the best lighting choice should give off a high amount of blue, red and yellow light. Plants need the light in the blue spectrum to provide energy for photosynthesis. Light in the red spectrum encourages blooming, and yellow light is necessary for chlorophyll to be produced, which also aids in photosynthesis.

Grow lights, which combine these colors, are made specifically for growing plants indoors, and can be purchased at garden centers.

Answer 6

as in photosynthesis sunlight is converted into energy which acts as a food for plants

Answer 7

That depends on the atificial lightyou are using. However there is artificial light that have a good effect on the growth of plants.
