Which plants cannot carry out photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Nonphotosynthetic plants live as parasites. Some examples are Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) and the snow plant (Sarcodes sanguinea), which are related to huckleberries and blueberries. But the main plant is Marijuana (Pot).

Answer 2

Plants need water, sunlight and air to photosynthesise. Withought this they cannot take light into the chloroplasts to genrerate energy (glucose). For example, if you put a plant in a dark room, with no water or air getting to it, the plant would surely die, because it would not be getting what it needed. Like a human withought food, it would be unable to survive for long, and it would show many signs, such as yellow leaves (they're green because of the chlorofyll getting the nutrients) etc. I'm 14, so im no expert but I hope this is of help.

Answer 3

There are some plants that cannot carry out photosynthesis, such as parasitic plants like dodder and broomrape. These plants rely on other plants for their nutrients and do not have chlorophyll to produce their own food through photosynthesis.

Answer 4

There are different types of plants that cannot photosynthesize. Some of these classifications include semiparasitic plants, holophrastic plants and myco-heterophytes.

Answer 5

There are few non photosynthetic plants. They are parasitic plants. Cuscuta is an example

Answer 6

None. What makes a plant a plant is its ability to make its own food through the process of photosynthesis.

Answer 7

Most plants do perform photosynthesis. Some plants can't photosynthesis because they don't have chlorophyll.

Answer 8

They can't photosynthesise in dark.....

Answer 9

All plants carry out photosynthesis.
