If Chlamydomonas, a photosynthetic green alga, is kept in the dark, it will be unable to perform photosynthesis, leading to a lack of energy production. Over time, it will deplete its stored carbohydrates and may begin to utilize alternative metabolic pathways, such as respiration, to survive. Prolonged darkness can stress the cells, potentially resulting in reduced growth, cell division, and overall viability. Eventually, if the dark conditions persist, the organism may die due to energy depletion.
