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.

∙ 9y agoElodea respire in the light. Elodea is a genus of aquatic plants often called water weeds. It is native to North America.

Does the dark reaction of photosynthesis require direct sun light energy to be proceed?
No it does not, because it is in the dark area which does not require light.
What two types of reactions occur during photosynthesis?
The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.
True or false The light reactions of photosynthesis can occur only under light conditions and the dark reactions can occur only during the dark hours?
false; dark reaction is independent of light
What are the parts of photosynthesis?
There are two major steps.They are light reaction and dark reaction.
Is Light needed in photosynthesis or respiration?
it is only needed for photosynthesis as we humans do not get our energy from light ( think about it we still breath when it is dark don't we)
Does elodea respire in the dark or the light?
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.
Why is light reaction of photosynthesis essential for the dark reaction to proceed?
why light reaction of photosynthesis is essential before the dark reaction can procced?
What would your hypothesis be regarding how the pH color of the water will change as you expose Elodea to light What about in the dark?
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.
Do plants need more light or dark?
light = photosynthesis !
Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?
Plants need photons in order to photosynthesize. There are photons which we cannot see, such as UV rays, but most plant energy comes from light which we can see. Also, remember that different plants absorb different kinds of light.
What are the comparison of light and dark reaction of photosynthesis?
i dont no the answer
Can photosynthesis happen during nighttime?
yes,there are two reactions the light dependent and the light independent.pen the light independent is the reaction where the photosynthesis happen nighttime.
Which part of photosynthesis can occur even when there is no light?
That is the dark reaction. It needs no light
What are the two faces of photosynthesis?
light face and dark face.Actually it is phase not face. They are light reaction and dark reatcion
What is the purpose of light and dark reactions in photosynthesis?
chloroform production
Does the dark reaction of photosynthesis require direct sun light energy to be proceed?
