Why does a plant in the dark produce more carbon then one in the light?

- Plants release oxygen in the light because they are photosynthesizing, which requires the input of carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. The reaction is:
Essentially, the carbon atom is removed from carbon dioxide molecules and joined with water molecules to produce 6(CH20) or C6H12O6, which is glucose. This releases the O2 molecule, which is the stable state of oxygen gas, from carbon dioxide.
2. This is wrong. When respiring, all living organisms breathe out carbon dioxide, unless they're DEAD! They give out CO2 to respire, to answer the question.

Why is a dark reaction called a cycle?
RuBP made during the dark reaction is used to start the reaction again. novanet.
What happened to the plant kept in light and plant kept in dark in the third week?
nothing heppend to that plant its in the same way
What are the dark reactions?
It is photosynthesis where light is not needed. It is a nickname for the Calvin-Benson cycle which is the second main step of photosynthesis. It utilizes the ATP and NADPH produced from the light-reactions as well as carbon dioxide from the air in order to produce glucose.
What are the reactants of the Dark Reaction?
Carbon, ATP and NADPH
What part of the day do plants produce more carbon dioxide and oxygen?
In general, plants either produce oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, but not both at the same time. During the daytime plants use sunlight (or other sources of light) to support photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is generated. At night (or when it is dark) plants take in oxygen and generate carbon dioxide.
Does both light reactions and the Calvin cycle produce three-carbon sugars?
No- the light reactions produce oxygen, and no carbon compounds. The dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) produce 3- and 5-carbon intermediates, and 6-carbon sugars.
How do plants absorbed carbon?
Plant does not absorb carbon monoxide. It is a gas which does not required in photosynthesis or respiration. (Biology: Light reaction and dark reaction)
How do plants absorb carbon monoxide?
Plant does not absorb carbon monoxide. It is a gas which does not required in photosynthesis or respiration. (Biology: Light reaction and dark reaction)
Do plants grow faster in sunlight or dark?
a plant will grow faster in sunlight becuse the sunlight has its minerals that the plant will mke into food adn the dark is not light enough to produce the energy or minerals for a plant to survive offof
Do plant cells produce ATP during photosynthesis?
yesYes,ATP is produced in the light reaction. These are utilized in the dark reaction
Does dark reaction of photosynthesis produce oxygen and ATP?
According to biologists, dark reaction in photosynthesis uses ATP in order to produce carbon dioxide. Once carbon dioxide is generated, then it can be used to synthesize glucose.
Do snails produce or consume carbon dioxide when in the light?
Snails produce CO2 all the time even if they are alive. It doesn't matter if there is light or not. Animals do not consume CO2 at all but produce it as a product.
If I put two plants into two boxes make of clear glass and wood along with some limewater why would the limewater in the wooden box turns chalky but not the limewater in the clearglass?
The plant in the wooden box has no light, so it cannot photosynthesize. The plant in the dark will still respire and so produce carbon dioxide, indicated by the limewater going milky. The plant in the clear glass box will use up any carbon dioxide and produce oxygen instead.
If put in the dark why do plants turn yellow?
Because plants are not able to produce chlorophyll in the dark and that is what makes a plant green. every thing that a plant does aside from germinate relies on the presence of enough light to convert into fuel.
When does photosynthesis happen light or dark?
happens during daylight where the plant takes in carbon dioxide and absorb sunlight to create food for itself
What is the processes that leaves produce carbon dioxide?
dark stage
The first pathway of photosynthesis was?
The first pathway of photosynthesis is the light reaction, which is the absorption of light energy from the sun by the chlorophyll in the plant. The pathway that follows this is the dark reaction or carbon fixation.
