Depends upon what type of mineral is crystallizing. For some types of minerals (aragonite in particular), their growth is mediated by photosynthetic algae. Obviously, they would grow faster when exposed to light. Otherwise, the algae die and the crystals are left to grow inorganically, which may mean not at all.

Which plant will grow bigger in the dark or light?

Plants grown in the light typically grow bigger than those in the dark because they need light for photosynthesis, which is crucial for their growth and development. Light provides energy for plants to produce food, enabling them to grow taller and have more leaves. Without light, plants tend to become weak and spindly due to the lack of energy source.

Do beans grow in the dark?

Yes. They actually grow faster in the dark than in the light.


Beans in the dark will grow faster then the beans in the light why?

Beans grown in the dark tend to grow faster than those grown in the light because they allocate more energy towards elongating their stems to reach for light. In the absence of light, the energy is redirected into stem growth instead of leaf development, resulting in taller plants.

What happened to the plant kept in light and plant kept in dark in the third week?

The plant kept in light likely continued to grow through photosynthesis by converting light energy into chemical energy for growth. The plant kept in the dark likely didn't grow much, as it depends on light for photosynthesis to produce energy for growth.


Does an apple tree grow better in dark or light?

Almost all plants grow better in light than dark so an apple tree best grows in light.


CAN AmarYLlis grow albino in the dark?

No, amaryllis plants require light to grow and photosynthesize. Without light, they will not be able to produce chlorophyll, which is necessary for their green color and growth. If grown in the dark, the plant will not survive.
