Elodea respires in both the light and the dark. However, the rate of repiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis when the plants are kept in the dark.
No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the dark because it requires light as an essential component for the process to take place.
False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. It requires light to take place, so it cannot occur in the dark.
Calvin cycle or light independent reaction
The light reactions in photosynthesis capture sunlight to produce energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the dark reactions to convert carbon dioxide into glucose. In other words, the light reactions provide the energy needed for the dark reactions to occur and produce sugar.

Elodea is placed in both flasks to show how aquatic plants release oxygen during photosynthesis. By comparing the presence of bubbles in the light and absence of bubbles in the dark, one can observe the effect of light on the process of photosynthesis in Elodea.
When the elodea is in the light it will do photosynthesis, and a product of this is CO2 . Some of the CO2 reacts with the water to become carbonic acid. This causes the water to be more acidic. When the plant is in the dark it respirates to get energy from the sugars it has produced. A product of this is O2 gas, which makes water more neutral. Depending on the pH test used the color will be different.
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
light = photosynthesis !
i dont no the answer
yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.
If elodea sprigs are kept in the dark for three weeks, they will likely experience reduced photosynthesis due to the lack of light. As a result, the plants may become weak, lose their vibrant green color, and eventually die if the dark conditions persist, as they won't be able to produce the energy needed for growth and survival. Additionally, the sprigs may begin to deplete their stored energy reserves, leading to further deterioration.
light face and dark face.Actually it is phase not face. They are light reaction and dark reatcion
No, photosynthesis cannot occur in the dark because it requires light as an essential component for the process to take place.
That is the dark reaction. It needs no light
No, photosynthesis requires light to occur. Plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells during daylight hours.
