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 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.
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.
Why is the cuticle of a plant transparent?
so that it can provide the leaf with protection, while still allowing light to pass through - for photosynthesis.
Does different types of light affect plant growth?
AnswerYes, for instance, try growing a plant under a green light. it will die, as the plant's leaves will reflect all the light, and there will very little energy gained.Additionally on the ROYGBIV spectrum of light "BIV" has more energy than "ROY" this is why plants are usually colored green-to avoid overheating while still getting the majority of the light. Solar Panels tend to be dark, as black absorbs all light, while white reflects it.There are 4 pigments in a plant's chlorophyll-2 green and lesser important red and orange. This allows for the plant to get an optimal amount of energy. However, colors of lights still has a great effect-grow lights are just a different spectrum of lights over the plants for optimal growth (mostly purple and blue).
What makes a plant bend toward a light?
The ability of a plant to bend toward a light source is known as phototropism. The hormone in a plant stem auxincauses elongation. Light destroys auxin when it strikes the stem. Because auxin is still present on the shaded side of the stem, the cells on the darker side are able to elongate more than the cells on the lighted side, causing the plant to bend toward the light. Phototropism by sunlight is also called heliotropism. The TickleMe Plant will fold it leaves and bend it branches when Tickled
Why do plant like protists not have leaves roots stems?
Plantlike protists can move around and still photosynthesize.
What will happen to a plant under artificial light?
It will still grow as artificial light is still light.
Would a plant still grow at the light compensation point?
Yes, a plant can still grow at the light compensation point. The light compensation point is the level of light intensity at which the rate of photosynthesis equals the rate of respiration in a plant. At this point, the plant is able to produce enough energy through photosynthesis to sustain its growth and metabolic processes.
Will black light paint still work without the light?
no....
If flowers are removed from the plant is it still living?
Certainly - the plant will still live without the flowers. It will simply be unable to reproduce.
Would a plant wrapped in foil under a light still be green?
No
Can plants still conduct photosynthesis without light?
No
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 you still drive your car without a brake light switch?
Yes
What would it be like without light?
Without light bulbs, we would still be using gas or oil lamps. Without those lamps, we would be in darkness for half the day.
Would a plant still grow upwards if you place it in different directions?
A plant does not grow upwards. A tropism is the growth of a plant in response to a stimulus. This means a plant does not grow upwards, it grows towards a stimulus which in most cases is light. Try it out, put a plant in a dark closet with a light on one side and watch the plant grow towards the light. The results should be clear after a number of days. The plant's response to light is known as phototropism. Hope I helped :)
