I'm certain this is a silly question but: Do photosynthetic plants require natural sunlight to undergo photosynthesis, or will artificial light from flourescent lights suffice?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yes, photosynthetic plants require natural sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy into chemical energy. Without sunlight, plants would not be able to produce the necessary energy to survive and grow.
No, photosynthetic plants cannot survive without natural sunlight. While some plants may be able to survive in low light conditions, they still require some amount of natural sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis and produce energy.
Artificial light can be sufficient for photosynthetic plants, but it must provide the necessary wavelengths of light that plants need for photosynthesis. This includes both red and blue light, which are the most important for plant growth and development.
The amount of natural sunlight required for photosynthetic plants varies depending on the type of plant and its stage of growth. Generally, plants need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day to thrive, but some may require more or less depending on their specific needs.
Yes, photosynthetic plants can be grown indoors without natural sunlight by using artificial light sources such as grow lights. However, it is important to provide the right type and amount of light for the specific plant in order for it to grow and thrive properly.
