Why is sunlight needed for a plant to stay alive?

✅ Answers

  • Answerer 1

    Most plants use sunlight energy to perform photosynthesis.

    Sunlight isn’t needed by plants that do not perform photosynthesis, so the question is somewhat bogus.

    Plants are organism who are autotroph, which means that they are able to produce food independently.
    The process of making food which plants require to live is called photosynthesis.
    Photo means light, and synthesis means to create. Below is the equation:

    sunlight
    6 CO2 + 12 H20 ——————> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O
    chlorophyll

    So without sunlight, plants are unable to synthesize glucose, which is vital to keep them alive.

    B’cz photosynthesis cannot occur without light.
    photosynthesis is the mechanism by which plants prepare their own food to grow and live.
    so they cannot survive without light.

    Is necessary so that the plant can photosynthesize and produce essential biomolecules.
