Exemplar Problems

Question:

If a green plant is kept in dark with proper ventilation, can this plant carry out photosynthesis? Can anything be given as a supplement to maintain its growth or survival?

Answer:

A green plant kept in the dark, even with proper ventilation, will not be able to carry out photosynthesis efficiently. Photosynthesis relies on light energy for carbon fixation. The plant can be supplemented with nutrient solution to maintain its survival but it can only sustain the plant for a limited duration of time.
