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

Answer

Plant which is kept in dark with proper ventilation cannot carry out photosynthesis. In this case, the plant will survive till its reserve food material is not exhausted completely, afterwards, it will die. Such a plant can survive in only one condition, i.e., when provided with artificial light source like a lightened bulb or tube light along with water. So it can carry out photosynthesis and grow.
