Light is essential for photosynthesis to occur because it is the source of energy, so it doesnt occur during the night. However, CAM plants have the capability to run the light reactions during the day (when there is light) and the Calvin cycle at night. They do this by only opening their stomata at night and allowing the gas exchange then. This is done as a way to reduce the effects of transpiration in dry climates.

Yes it can, but only as long as there's a supply of ATP (which provides the energy) and NADPH (which provides the high energy electrons) to run the process.

Yes because it uses what happened in the light dependent reaction.

It occurs during the day because in order to run the Calvin cycle NADPH and ATP are needed from the light reaction.

Does photosythesis occur at night?

Photosynthesis requires energy from light. If there is no light there can be no photosynthesis. Photosynthesis doesn't occur in the dark. You could use electric lights to simulate daylight and make plants photosynthesise during the night time.


Does photosynthesis takeplace at night in any one of the plants?

No, for photosynthesis to occur there has to be light for the plant to use.


Could photosynthesis occur in a plant outside at night?

No. Unless there was another light source besides the sun;photosynthesis is a process involving light.


Why do plants less oxygen during the night?

Oxygen is created via the process of photosynthesis. Without sunlight, photosynthesis cannot occur on anything beyond stored energy, resulting in a large decrease in oxygen production.Ê photosynthesis stops at night


What thing have to happen for photosynthesis to occur?

Where does The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the of plant cells.?

The reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplast in the cells in plants.


Why does photosynthesis occur in leaves?

Photosynthesis needs sunlight to occur. Therefore photosynthesis does not occur in the roots because they do not receive any sunlight. The leaves are the parts of the plant most exposed to the light.


What is photosynthesis in what major organelle does it occur in?

Photosynthesis is the process of making food in the presence of sunlight. It occur in chlorophyll.
