Actually plants do grow in the dark! However, they still need sunlight to capture energy in order to grow. Plants that grow in the dark are known as CAM plants. CAM plants are often found in the dessert and include cacti, cycads, lycopods, an pineapples. They capture sunlight during they day and produce carbohydrates at night. Carbohydrates are the building blocks the plants use for structural material and stored energy.
What else can I help you with?
Do plants need more light or dark?
light = photosynthesis !
Where do plants get carbon dioxide for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.
Plants that produce oxaloacetic acid instead of PGA during the dark reactions of photosynthesis are called?
Plants that produce oxaloacetic acid instead of PGA during the dark reactions of photosynthesis are known as C4 plants. These plants have adapted to hot and dry conditions by incorporating a four-carbon compound in the initial steps of carbon fixation to increase efficiency.
Where does a plant get the carbon dioxde that it needs for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
The plants uses stored carbohydrates such as starches.
Does photosynthesis have to happen in the dark?
No, photosynthesis requires light to occur. Plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells during daylight hours.
Could you grow plants in the dark?
no,.because they could not perform photosynthesis in the dark
Do plants need more light or dark?
light = photosynthesis !
Can plants photosythesise in the dark?
No they can't. They need to absorb sunlight to photosynthesis.
Where does plants get the carbon dioxide that it needs for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
air
Does starch grow in the dark?
No, starch does not grow in the dark. Starch is a type of carbohydrate that is stored in plants for energy, and it is produced through photosynthesis, which requires light. Without light, plants cannot produce starch through photosynthesis.
Do plants need carbon dioxide to photosynthesis?
carbon is needed during photosynthesis as it is the source of glucose.in entire dark reaction it is needed. plz go for dark reaction,you will be satisfied.
Do plant grow well in a dark place?
No, plants need sunlight for photosynthesis. Mold grows well in dark places.
When do plants do photosynthesis and respiration?
In general, green plants photosynthesize during the day or when light is on the leaves, and respire at night, or in the dark. As its name implies, photosynthesis is a light dependent process.
Where do plants get carbon dioxide for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.
Do plants make food in the dark?
No they can't. They need sunlight for that.
Can photosynthesis occur in plants that are kept permanently in dark rooms?
no there is no way that it will be able to get sunlight; false
Does elodea respire in the dark or the light?
Elodea respires in both the light and the dark. However, the rate of repiration exceeds the rate of photosynthesis when the plants are kept in the dark.
