Plants produce sugar from photosynthesis which is a process that converts the suns light in addition to water and CO2 into energy in the form of sugar. Therefore, plants only go through photosynthesis during the daytime because at nighttime there is no sun and the plant cannot go through photosythesis. Because photosynthesis happens only during the day, sugar is produced only during the day also.

∙ 15y agoDuring the daytime, plants produce energy in the form of ATP and NADPH (light reactions)...during the night, these energy forms go to the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) to fuel the production of organic molecules from CO2 collected during the day...some of these organic molecules will be stored (starch) and some will be used for plant structural growth (cellulose), and some for other organic molecules (lipids, proteins, etc).

∙ 11y agoYes. The dark reactions take place at night in all plant species and particularly those in warmer areas which utilize C4 rather than C3 photosynthesis. C4 plants produce sugars ONLY at night, and harvest the energy to do so during the day.

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, plants use energy stored in ATP molecules to produce sugar molecules from carbon dioxide
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoPlants have more sugar because the sun gives off the energy that plants need. (: called photosynthesis
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoThis happens because at night there is no sunlight. Sunlight is the one to provide enough energy to create photosynthesis, which helps create oxygen.

How does sugar keep cut flowers alive?
Sugar contains glucose, so the plant can use it as a substitute for the glucose it would normally produce through photosynthesis.
Will a plant grow in sugar water?
Because you make food with sugar and water and if you add sugar water it will produce more food and soon enough you will have to much food and will not hold.
What product can plants that contain sugar and starch be made into?
When a plant makes auger it is called photosynthesis.
Why does sugar cane produce sugar?
because its sugar
What are plant organelles that make food from sunlight?
The plant organelles that make food from sunlight are the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are found in cell of the plant, and contain the pigment chlorophyll, which convert the solar energy into sugar. This sugar is the food for the plant.Organelles called ____________ capture energy from sunlight and use it to produce food for the cell. The answer is chloroplasts. ;)
How can a plant produce sugar during the night?
because they have sprinkelers to water them
Why plant cells produce sugar?
FOOD!
What Plant leaf cells produce?
sugar
During photosynthsis what do plant produce?
sugar sugar sugar
Why cant plants produce sugar over night?
In the the night time there is no sun, hence no light. During the day a plant will use chloroplasts to make glucose, which is then stored as plant starch. When there is no sun for an extended period of time a plant can get energy from tubers. A tuber is a modified plant structure, under ground, where it can store excess glucose. (sugar is basically the same as glucose)
What type of food is produce in the plant?
Carbohydrates - sugar.
What do plant leaf cells produce for the plant?
build
What do greeen plant produce as a product of photosynthesis?
oxygen and sugar
Is sugar a flowering plant?
sugar isn't a plant. Sugar is extracted from plants. Sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beet. Or from fruit. Sugar cane is a type of grass and it has flowers. Sugar beet is a hardy biennial plant. If the plant is not harvested then during its second growing season, it will produce flowers and seeds
Is the snake plant the only plant the produces oxygen at night?
No, gerbera daisy and aloe also produce O2 at night
What two compounds do a plant need to produce sugar?
oxygen and gluecose
Why doesn't a plant produce as much starch in the absence of water as it does in the presence of water?
In order to produce starch, a plant has to combine water and the sugar it produces. Without water, a plant cannot produce starch.
