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.

No, plants cannot produce sugar at night because they require sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, which is the process that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar). At night, plants are not able to take in carbon dioxide and carry out photosynthesis.

During 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).

Yes. 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.

Plants cannot photosynthesize without sunlight so probably not.

Yes, plants use energy stored in ATP molecules to produce sugar molecules from carbon dioxide

Plants have more sugar because the sun gives off the energy that plants need. (: called photosynthesis

This happens because at night there is no sunlight. Sunlight is the one to provide enough energy to create photosynthesis, which helps create oxygen.

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)

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.

What is the call of sugar in the plant?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce sugar (glucose) using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This sugar is then stored or used as energy for the plant's growth and metabolism.
