Since plants conduct photosynthesis during the day, the glucose which they make during the day or when the sun is present is used in cellular respiration during the night. In addition, the energy they have stored during the day is just used for survival at night.

Generally, C3 plants close their stomata at night because they are not preforming photosynthesis in the dark and they want to conserve the water that normally would be transpiring from the stomata. CO2 is not needed at night either, since the plant is not preforming photosynthesis.

In flowering plants, the flower will usually close up.


Plants respire in the night. That is they take oxygen and burn the food to produce energy.

Photosynthesis stops and (cellular) respiration (the dark cycle) begins.

Plants respire at night which is a process which releases the energy in glucose to perform necessary functions.

The same kind of respiration as animals do. Photosynthesis is turned off at night because there is not enough light to power it.

If you put a plant in the dark will it still be able to make ATP?

Yes. In fact, this happens every night to every plant on the planet that isn't under artificial lighting. The plant oxidizes sugar to make ATP at night, powering its metabolic processes.

Photosynthesis has two phases: the light phase and the dark phase. The light phase happens in the chloroplasts, which are the structures that contain chlorophyll.
