Question

The rate of photosynthesis can be determined by measuring the rate that reactants are used up by a plant or by measuring the rate that products of photosynthesis are produced by a plant. How would placing a plant in a dark room for 24 hours affect the rate of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

As photosynthesis is a process that requires sunlight, the rate of this process will be 0 in a room without any light.

However, even if the dark room has very little light, it may still not be enough for photosynthesis to occur. This process requires certain levels of sunlight.
