How do plants with foliage that is not green in color photosynthesize?
Photosynthesis is accomplished by chlorophyll. Regardless of the color of the leaf, the cholophyll is still present and therefore photosynthesis still occurs.
Can a plant still photosynthesize without light?
See the Related Link. I remember reading once not long ago about some kind of tube worm deep in the ocean that survives with no light, but I guess technically they are worms, not plants, although they certainly looked like plants to me.
What are the importance of a control experiment?
A control show that under the normal conditions what will happen. Example: Testing effect of light filtering on growth of plant Tested plant: 8 CM under light with 2 layers of cyan colored plastic. Control: 8 CM under light with 2 layers of clear colored plastic. we still need the plastic to keep conditions the same except for the thing we are testing which is not the plastic, but the color's effect.
Why do plant cells have chloroplasts and cells walls and not animals cells?
Well, chloroplasts are an organelle (structure) found in plant cells. they contain chlorophyll, a green chemical that allow photosynthesis to occur. Plants are surprisingly well adapted for this though, so even if we had the potential to photosynthesize, we would still require extra nutrition, meaning we would still have to eat plants and other animals, so its not a 'very' advantageous trait for most animals. One reason plant cells have a cell wall is because they don't have any skeletal structure. the cell wall [once the vacuole, the water/food container, is full] allows the cell to become turgid, pushing against the cell wall and causing enough pressure to hold the plant up. We have a skeleton to keep us standing or sitting, etc. so we don't need extra support from our cells.
What is the effect of light on mung bean germination?
The affect is a good plant becauise through the soil the plant/seed can still soak up energy that is needed for it to grow into a healthy plant.
Why do plant like protists not have leaves roots stems?
Plantlike protists can move around and still photosynthesize.
What will happen if a plant covered with oil?
it would still grow
Would a plant be able to do photosynthesis if covered by a clear plastic bag?
If the plant cannot receive a fresh supply of air, it will not get the carbon dioxide it needs to live, If there is enough fresh air, the plastic could still either block the sunlight or could allow water vapor to build up around the leaves or on the plastic.
If a boat got a hole and you covered it with plastic would your boat still sink and if yes why?
yes. if there was still a gap for water to get in.. if you had fully covered the hole with no gaps. then it would stop the water coming in..... pail out what water there was in the boat. and it should not sink....
How does a desert still work?
Heat evaporates moisture in the plant matter beneath the plastic sheet which recondenses on the plastic and runs down to the rock in the center, dripping into the cup or container.

Are plastic shipping bags still being made?
Plastic shipping bags are still being made. Biodegradable plastic and degradable plastic bags are much friendlier to the environment than just regular plastic bags.
Are there any plastic linens that still look classy?
There are plenty of plastic linens that still look good, but be sure to get a nicer one that uses a higher quality plastic.
If I put two plants into two boxes make of clear glass and wood along with some limewater why would the limewater in the wooden box turns chalky but not the limewater in the clearglass?
The plant in the wooden box has no light, so it cannot photosynthesize. The plant in the dark will still respire and so produce carbon dioxide, indicated by the limewater going milky. The plant in the clear glass box will use up any carbon dioxide and produce oxygen instead.
Can cork floors be covered in the bathroom?
That Depends.. covered with what why is the cork still tight to the floor??
When flowers are picked are they still a plant?
No they are not still a plant. When they are picked they don't have their vitamins, food or their roots.
