What else can I help you with?
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.
Why the plants on the forest floor have dark green leaves all year around?
Plants on the forest floor often have dark green leaves year-round because they are adapted to low light conditions. The dark green color helps the plants absorb as much light as possible for photosynthesis. Additionally, having leaves all year helps plants take advantage of any available sunlight, even in the shaded understory of the forest.
How do water plants photosynthesis?
They take in the light from the sun
Where do plants take in sunlight?
Chloroplasts absorb the light.
At what time during a 24 hour period would photosynthesis not take place?
Photosynthesis mainly occurs during the daylight hours when there is light available for plants to use in the process. Therefore, photosynthesis does not take place during the nighttime when it is dark.
What happens during each each of the two stages of photosynthesis?
These stages are called the light reactions and the dark reactions. The light reactions take place in the presence of of light. The dark reactions do not require direct light, however dark reactions in most plants occur during the day.
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.
In what organelle do light reactions occur in plants?
Light reactions in plants occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. This process involves capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin cycle to produce sugars.

Why the rate of respiration exceeds in the dark than that in the light?
Respiration exceed in the dark better than thatin the light because when its dark it is usually cooler. This helps keep moisture. When its light it is usually hotter. The light can make things dry. For example, if you leave a glass of water out in the sun for a long time it will evaporate. If you try the same with a glass of water in the dark the water might not evaporate or will take longer to evaporte * this may not always be the case. so dont be suorised if you try and results are different
What do plants take energy from?
Light
Do plants grow faster in dark or sun?
Plants require light for photosynthesis, so it is impossible for plants to increase in dry biomass without any light. Some plants do not require high levels of light for growth, because they are adapted to low light conditions (such as jungle and forest plants). Plants left in the dark will grow taller than plants in lighted conditions over a short period of time, but they will also be yellower and more spindly (etiolation). The increased height is a response to low light levels - the plant is trying to grow over anything that may be blocking the light, and will grow towards any source of light. As mentioned in the discussion page of this question this response is controlled by auxins in the plant growth points. For very short periods of time the plant will appear to be going faster than a control plant in normal light intensities - however, this is because the stem is normally thinner so the amount of biomass produced is roughly the same. In addition the plant has to make use of stored energy reserves as it is not able to photosynthesis. Etiolation is a form of self-protection mechanism, the plant expends energy and reserves looking for a source of light that can ensure its continued survival.
Where did light and dark reaction of plant take place?
in the chlorophyll
How do water plants photosynthesis?
They take in the light from the sun
Where do plants take in sunlight?
Chloroplasts absorb the light.
In the sunlight what do plants take in?
Light, water, and CO2
Differentiate light reaction dark?
Light reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast, where light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Dark reactions, also known as the Calvin cycle, take place in the stroma of the chloroplast and use the ATP and NADPH generated in the light reactions to produce glucose from carbon dioxide.
