Do plants grow faster in sunlight or dark?
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.
What are the names of some plants that grow in the dark?
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 :(
What can plants do that fungi cannot?
photosynthesis
Where do plants get carbon dioxide for the dark reaction of photosynthesis?
Major amount of CO2 for dark reaction is provided by the atmosphere. Part of it is also contributed by cellular respiration of plants.
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.
