Can plant produce sugar at night?

Plants produce sugar from photosynthesis which is a process that converts the suns light in addition to water and CO2 into energy in the form of sugar. Therefore, plants only go through photosynthesis during the daytime because at nighttime there is no sun and the plant cannot go through photosythesis. Because photosynthesis happens only during the day, sugar is produced only during the day also.


How can CAM plants differ from both C3 and C4 plants?

AnswerCAM plants, like C4 plants live in hot and dry places. Unlike any other type of plant, the can close their stomates during the day to conserve water. The also use PEPCase to fix carbon dioxide at night, instead of using RuBP.Note that, only the Cam plants fix CO2 later during the night because they have their stomata closed during the day.


Do yellow leaves photosynthesis?

"So, plants with leaf color other than green perform photosynthesis just like green-leafed plants (if they did not, they would not live). The chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis is masked among the colorful pigmentation."


Does animal cells produce photosynthesis?

Not all types of plant cells perform photosynthesis. Most cells on the shoot of the plant (depending on the plant) are capable of photosynthesis. However, most root cells are white because they lack pigments and, therefore, are incapable of photosynthesis.


Can animals do photosynthesis?

No, animals only carry out respiration. Only plants have photosynthesis. Although, there is a rare green sea slug, which is now being considered half plant and half animal because it carries out both respiration and photosynthesis.
