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.
No, lemon plants require sunlight to photosynthesize and grow. Without sunlight, the plant will not be able to produce energy and will eventually wither and die.
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.
Yes, there is at least one plant, Indian Pipe, that can grow without any sunlight. It lives as a parasite on trees.
well it depends on what type of plant it is some plants like little water and lots of sunlight some like lots of water and little sunlight and others like lots of water and lots of sunlight.
a plant will grow faster in sunlight becuse the sunlight has its minerals that the plant will mke into food adn the dark is not light enough to produce the energy or minerals for a plant to survive offof
ANY plant needs SUNLIGHT to grow. we cant do without sun. Except for the creatures at the sea bottom.
no lol

In most all cases with sunlight.
yes. it cant grow without it
without sunlight, the banana cant grow
All plants need sunlight to grow
it can sprout however,the plant will not be healthy.
becasue without it plants cant grow to be healthy
Plants grow better in the sun, because sunlight provides the necessary energy a plant needs. Without sunlight (sun), the plant will most likely die.

Yes! Not enough will not allow the plant to grow (as they get energy from sunlight -- so without sunlight they cannot grow) and too much can burn some plants, causing them to die.
