Photosynthesis needs sunlight to take place so one could safely say no.

How do plants get energy at night?

Plants do not photosynthesize at night because there is no sunlight available. Instead, they rely on stored energy in the form of carbohydrates produced during the day through photosynthesis. This stored energy is used at night for essential functions like growth, maintenance, and respiration.


Do plant need more C02 in the day time than the night time?

Green plants need carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis, which operates using the energy of sunlight. So it takes in carbon dioxide during the day. At night, plants take in some oxygen for other metabolic processes, using cellular respiration.(Some desert plants take in more carbon dioxide and night because they can store it as weak acids. This limits the exposure of plant enzymes to oxygen. However, these plants, such as cacti, release oxygen during the day as do other plants.)


Which plants release oxygen at night?

There are no plants that release oxygen at night. Plants only release oxygen during the day through the process of photosynthesis.


Do plants breathe at night and if so, how does this process differ from their respiration during the day?

Yes, plants do breathe at night through a process called respiration. However, this process differs from their respiration during the day because at night, plants do not undergo photosynthesis, so they rely solely on respiration to obtain energy. During the day, plants use photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight, in addition to respiration.


CAM plants close their what during the day and open them at night?

Cam plants close during the night and open during the day because they are photosensitive and respond to light. To do it experimentally, try with a torch for some time.

no


Why do plants in a field only photosynisise at night?

Plants do not photosynthesize only at night; in fact, photosynthesis primarily occurs during the day when there is sunlight available. However, some plants like CAM plants have adapted to perform a type of photosynthesis known as Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, where they open their stomata at night to reduce water loss and take in carbon dioxide, which is then stored and used for photosynthesis during the day. This adaptation allows them to thrive in arid conditions.


When do plants do photosynthesis and respiration?

In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.


Does corn grow at night?

No, corn plants do not grow at night. Growth occurs during the day when they photosynthesize and convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. At night, corn plants mostly focus on maintaining and repairing themselves.


How do plants survive with little water?

they are often C2 photosynthetic plants and this particular way of photosynthesis allows the plants to take in carbon doxide at night and keep its stomatas shut during the day so it doesn't lose water in the heat and still photosynthesize

Is it wise to sleep under a tree during the day or at night give reasons?

It is wiser to sleep under a tree during the day than at night because... During the day, in presence of sunlight, plants use up carbon dioxide and release oxygen for photosynthesis. But during the night plants can't photosynthesize as there is no sunlight, which is needed for photosynthesis. So instead of taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen, they do the opposite. Therefor there is an increased level of carbon dioxide in the air. If someone is sleeping under a tree at night the increased level of carbon dioxide will affect their health. So sleeping under a tree at day time is wiser then sleeping under a tree at night time.

Is water needed by a plant more during the day or night?

Pretty sure its night. During the day plants need more water because the sun is out.


What is the maximum number of hours a plant can photosynthesise?

Plants can photosynthesize as long as there is sunlight available during the day. The number of hours can vary depending on the season, location, and specific plant species. In general, plants can photosynthesize from sunrise to sunset, which is typically around 12-16 hours a day.


Do plants uptake nutrients during darkness?

No, plants primarily photosynthesize during the day to produce their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Nutrient uptake mostly occurs during the day when photosynthesis is active. However, there are some nutrients that can still be absorbed by plants during the night or in darkness, but at a slower rate.


What do CAM plants open during the day and close at night?

Cam plants close during the night and open during the day because they are photosensitive and respond to light. To do it experimentally, try with a torch for some time.
