Because you need light ti carry out photosysis (6CO2 + 6H2O => C6H12O6 + 6O2) , which takes in the C02, at night the plant respires, (glucose + oxygen = water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY , OR, C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2 + ENERGY), hope i helped :).

In what organelle do light reactions occur in plants?

Both light and dark reactions occur in the chloroplasts of cells. More specifically light reactions take places in the thylakoid, dark in the stroma.


What happens during each of the two stages of photosynthesis?

These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.

Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?

Plants need photons in order to photosynthesize. There are photons which we cannot see, such as UV rays, but most plant energy comes from light which we can see. Also, remember that different plants absorb different kinds of light.


How do plants grow in light?

Light


How do stomata and chloroplast play vital roles in photosynthetic activities of plants?

Do plants grow faster in dark or sun?

Plants require light for photosynthesis, so it is impossible for plants to increase in dry biomass without any light. Some plants do not require high levels of light for growth, because they are adapted to low light conditions (such as jungle and forest plants). Plants left in the dark will grow taller than plants in lighted conditions over a short period of time, but they will also be yellower and more spindly (etiolation). The increased height is a response to low light levels - the plant is trying to grow over anything that may be blocking the light, and will grow towards any source of light. As mentioned in the discussion page of this question this response is controlled by auxins in the plant growth points. For very short periods of time the plant will appear to be going faster than a control plant in normal light intensities - however, this is because the stem is normally thinner so the amount of biomass produced is roughly the same. In addition the plant has to make use of stored energy reserves as it is not able to photosynthesis. Etiolation is a form of self-protection mechanism, the plant expends energy and reserves looking for a source of light that can ensure its continued survival.
