Q. What will happen if you keep a plant in dark?
When a plant is kept in a dark room, it will be unable to perform photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, the plant will not be able to make its own food and the plant will slowly die.
Q. Can plants grow in darkness?
Plants cannot survive in total darkness. All plants, with the exception of a few that live on other organisms, use a process called photosynthesis to obtain the energy they need. The vast majority of plants are autotrophs—they are self-feeding and require sunlight to survive.
Q. Can any plants survive without sunlight?
All plants can survive for short periods without light. Obviously, they need to be able to last through the night, but they can also cope with a longer darkness in an emergency. No plant can live without sunlight forever.
