In the dark plants cannot photosynthesize.

In the dark, plants cannot photosynthesize effectively due to the lack of light. This results in reduced production of glucose, which is essential for their growth and survival. Without sufficient light, plants may become weak and eventually die.
Plants grow faster in sunlight because they need sunlight for photosynthesis, which is the process that allows plants to convert light into energy. Without sunlight, plants cannot produce the energy they need to grow. In the dark, plants may not be able to photosynthesize effectively, leading to slower growth rates.
Only plants that need not photosynthesize can live in the dark so fungi, mosses, etc. although if you mean "low light" plants there are probably more "greens" that exist but they're mostly shrubs and small plants that live on the dark, forest/rain forest floors of the world. Although sadly, I cannot give you any specific names :(
photosynthesis
Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.
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.
