Photosynthesis needs sunlight because the light is the main input of energy for the reaction pathway. With no light, the light reactions would not be able to take place and the Calvin cycle would not be able to continue without the ATP and NADPH from the light reactions.

Calvin cycle


Does photosythesis occur at night?

Photosynthesis requires energy from light. If there is no light there can be no photosynthesis. Photosynthesis doesn't occur in the dark. You could use electric lights to simulate daylight and make plants photosynthesise during the night time.


Does photosynthesis takeplace at night in any one of the plants?

No, for photosynthesis to occur there has to be light for the plant to use.


Why do plants less oxygen during the night?

Oxygen is created via the process of photosynthesis. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur on anything beyond stored energy, resulting in a large decrease in oxygen production.Ê photosynthesis stops at night


Could photosynthesis occur in a plant outside at night?

No, photosynthesis cannot occur at night because it requires sunlight to drive the process. Without light, the plant cannot convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis only takes place during the day when sunlight is available.


Can photosynthesis occur without sunlight?

No, photosynthesis cannot occur without sunlight.


What is necessary for photosynthesis to occur?

Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to occur.


Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?

The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.


Where does photosynthesis occur in plants and animals?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and does not occur in animals.


What is photosynthesis in what major organelle does it occur in?

Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.


What does plant gives at night?

During the night, photosynthesis gets shut down (since there's no light) and it will give off CO2 like us human. At night plants gives carbon dioxide is taken up from the air and used in the process of making sugars. At night, when photosynthesis does not occur - no sunlight for energy - respiration does occur, which gives off carbon dioxide just as it does in animals. On balance, though, plants take up much more carbon dioxide in photosynthesis than they give off in respiration.That's why some people say that ppl should take the plants out of the room at night


Can photosynthesis occur without light?

No, photosynthesis cannot occur without light. Light is a necessary component for the process of photosynthesis to take place in plants.
