Light is essential for photosynthesis to occur because it is the source of energy, so it doesnt occur during the night. However, CAM plants have the capability to run the light reactions during the day (when there is light) and the Calvin cycle at night. They do this by only opening their stomata at night and allowing the gas exchange then. This is done as a way to reduce the effects of transpiration in dry climates.

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 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


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.


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.
