Typically, in winter there is less sunlight. The light that does reach the plants is weaker as the Earth is tilted further away from the Sun in winter. Plants are unabe to photosynthesize without sunlight, it is the power behind the entire process. Also, plants are unable to photosynthesize without water. In the depths of winter, much of this may be locked up as ice and therefore unaccessible to most plants.
What else can I help you with?
Why do plants photosynthesise more in the summer than the winter?
To occur photosynthesis needs light, chlorophylll, enough carbon dioxide and appropriate tempreatures. In the summer it gets lighter and warmer although just the same as when its too cold if its too hot photosynthesis will reduce
How does the tempurature affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The rate of photosynthesis in relation to temperature forms a bell curve. At low temperatures the enzymes responsibility for photosynthesis have very little energy so the rate of photosynthesis is very slow. If it is cold enough for water to freeze it can be very harmful to a plant. As the temperature increases, the enzymes get more energy so the rate of photosynthesis increases. If it gets too hot the enzymes begin to lose their shape (denature). This means they are unable to function properly and the rate of photosynthesis decreases again. Also, at higher temperatures the stomata close to prevent water loss. This also stops gas exchange which slows photosynthesis even further. If it is hot enough for water to boil this can be very harmful.
Is the name of process that plants use to convert the sun's energy into chemical energy?
photosynthesis.
What is the rootword of photosynthesis?
The root word of photosynthesis is "photo," which means light in Greek.
What is happening inside a tree when the leaves change colors?
The chlorophyll (the green stuff that does photosynthesis) inside the leaves die out in the fall/winter because they don't make any food in the winter, just the food they saved up. Then, there are other colors (the yellow and orange) that show since the chlorophyll dies out. Sometimes, the sap gets stuck in the leaves and make it look purple-ish or red-ish.
How does photosynthesis take place in winter?
Photosynthesis occurs within an ideal band of temperature. As the temperature changes in either direction from the center of the band, the photosynthesis rate decreases.
How does a tree with no leaves do photosynthisis?
if talking about trees in winter then in summer or autumn trees do photosynthesis and store the extra food in the trunk. in winter the tree does not do photosynthesis but live on the food stored in the trunk.
How would photosynthesis be effected if some of the carbon dioxide was removed from the area?
the plant wont photosyntheis. photosyntheis needs carbon dioxide to do so.
Does the process of photosynthesis occur during the winter?
Yes, photosynthesis can still occur during the winter, but at a slower rate due to decreased sunlight and colder temperatures. Evergreen plants, which retain their leaves throughout the year, can continue photosynthesizing during the winter. However, deciduous plants may shed their leaves and enter a dormant state until conditions become more favorable for photosynthesis.
How do plants in the desert and in areas where winter occur manufacture food?
Plants produce food by photosynthesis.
What types of trees do photosynthesis all year?
all trees! they don't stop doing photosynthesis just because it's winter.....unless they don't have light.....which technically is not possible
How does the color changes and loss of leaves to a plants ability to conduct photosynthesis during the winter?
there is no leaves in the winter time but when it is cold they change brown gold (yellow) red
Why the plants do not grow new leaves in the winter?
because there is not enough sunlight to reach the plant so they cant photosynthesis
Can photosynthesis occur in the winter?
Yes, photosynthesis can still occur in the winter, but at a slower rate due to the reduced sunlight and colder temperatures. Evergreen plants and some cold-tolerant plants can continue photosynthesizing during the winter months, albeit at a reduced level compared to during the growing season.
Do trees grow slowly in winter?
According to the plumber augering my main line, tree roots can still grow in the winter. And our winters here are -30C. A gardening site says that tree roots can grow if the underground temperature is 40F, about +4C.
Where do plants get their food after the seed leaves fall?
Stored energy. plants are always doing photosynthesis. it gets stored for the winter.
How do trees get food in winter when they lose their leaves?
The same way other trees do, by photosynthesis. They have green chlorophyll, it's just masked by other pigments, called anthocyanins.
