No. It's really the leaves that need the sunlight, for photosythesis, so without that the plant will starve to death. Without water the whole plant will die, just like any living organism in the same predicament.

How long can a plant live without any water or sunlight and why?

Thank u very much for answering the answer


Can a forsythia plant grow in a pot?

Yes, forsythia plants can grow in pots as long as the pot is large enough to accommodate the mature size of the plant and has good drainage. Ensure the plant receives adequate sunlight and regular watering for optimal growth. Prune the plant as needed to maintain its size and shape in a container.


What happens to a plant that doesn't have water or sunlight for a long period of time?

Without water, a plant will dry out and wilt due to lack of hydration, leading to potential death. Without sunlight, a plant cannot perform photosynthesis to produce energy, eventually causing it to weaken and die due to lack of food. Both of these factors are crucial for a plant's survival and growth, and prolonged deprivation will lead to irreversible damage.


Why can't a plant grow without sunlight?

Plants need carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose which can be used for energy. But they cannot use these molecules on their own. They need sunlight to split the water into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is transported to ultimately reduce carbon dioxide to glucose in what is called the Calvin Cycle. The oxygen is given off as waste. Multitudinous glucose molecules can be strung together into starch and stored, to be used when there is no sunlight, but this starch-store will eventually be used up and, if no more light is given to the plant, it will not be able to continue glucose production and will die as glucose is its energy source.


Materials for the experiment can plants grow without soil?

A hypothesis issimply a sentence that says what you think the outcome will be. for example: I belive plants can grow without water because soil does not carry vital nutrients. (soil carries nutrients but they arent needed)

How long does it take for corn to grow in dark places?

Corn cannot grow in complete darkness as it requires sunlight for photosynthesis, which is essential for its growth. Without sunlight, the corn plant will not be able to produce the energy it needs to grow.


Can a plant grow faster in the dark then the light?

a plant in the dark will grow faster but it's not going to last long because it does not have sunlight. sunlight is what make a plant grow and it would not be the same because it does not have chlorphyll so it will not be green. so we will know it going to be a different color.


How long can a plant survive without sunlight?

Plants can typically survive for a few weeks to a couple of months without sunlight, depending on the type of plant and its specific needs. However, prolonged lack of sunlight will eventually lead to the plant's death as it relies on sunlight for photosynthesis, which is essential for its growth and survival.


What would happen to a plant if it would not receive even a faint of sunlight for a long duration?

The plants will die because the plants need a sunlight to grow...

How long can plants survive without sunlight?

Plants can survive without sunlight for a few days to a few weeks, depending on the type of plant and its stored energy reserves. However, prolonged lack of sunlight will eventually lead to the plant's death as it is unable to perform photosynthesis, which is essential for its survival.


If you blew on a plant a long time would it grow at a faster pace?

Blowing on a plant will not make it grow faster. Plants need proper sunlight, water, nutrients, and appropriate growing conditions to grow at their optimal pace. Wind can help strengthen a plant's stem, but it will not significantly impact its overall growth rate.


How is a groundnut plant pollinated?

Groundnuts (peanuts ) grow underground. The plant, however, grows in the sunlight and blooms like any other plant. After pollination, the stems of the fruiting body turn downward and implant their heads into the soil, where the nut (seed) grows.
