What happens if a flowering plant does not receive sunlight?

the flower will die because of lack of photosynthesis

Plants can sustain photosynthesis (and release oxygen) from any lightsource that has enough energy. But plants can also get stressed by too much light and actually get sick. They might also grow in unnatural ways, like growing sprouts all over, if "fed" the wrong amount of light for too long periods of time. \n\nPlants are tuned to natural light during ordinary hours but some plants can even "OD" on sunlight. When the sun shines too hot during a hot day they sometimes shutdown photosynthesis and begin to perspire. \n\nIt all comes down to what kind of plant it is. An ordinary house plant should release oxygen if the artificial light is not too intensive.

The plant will want water that causes it to work the least.\nI'd say, then, that lukewarm (room temp.) is best.\nCold water must be warmed up, and hot water (damaging the plant, burning the roots...bad) must be cooled down.

Because light is needed for photosynthesis which makes energy..since the seeds have no leaves and hence no photosyntheisis they get around by having enough energy material provided within the seed to allow for growth until plant is above ground and has the leaves needed for photosynthesis

The answer could be (c), conifers.\nIn general, the plants that produce seeds without flowers are called Gymnosperms.  Conifers are gymnosperms.

Depends on the plant.  Some plants, like kelp or Utricularia thrive when totally immersed.  Others cannot transpire properly unless their leaves are exposed to air, and will 'drown' in water.

None, these are parasitic microbes and the colour of light falling on them has no effect. But if you beam un-filtered blue light which may have a substantial amount of UV lighht or UV light itself on microbes, they will die. Effect on growth will be the arresting of growth, as many genes are damaged. Efect on genes is the disruption of genes by UV light induced damage. And funnily, genes responsible for repair of UV induced damage will be switched on and will become most active genes in them during and for some time after UV light beaming.

I would say the Sun. You need it in order to create evaporation to create the clouds that produce rain. Without it, there would be no rain.\n\nAfter reading the additional comments, the sun is still more important than rain. Sure, we can create our own light but it isn't economically feasible to create enough sources of light for plants to photosynthesize and create Oxygen for us to breathe. The Sun's light covers a much wider area than we could imagine or build for, at least economically speaking.\n\nWe can live without water for a short time, but we can't live without oxygen. If the plants stop producing oxygen because of lack of light, we'll die even if we have an abundance of water.

Chlorophyll. It needs the presence of sunlight too.

if a plant is in a windy area, evaporation happens faster. Or in not too bright of sun, photosynthesis happens faster.  Also, if it's well watered, the roots suck more in and push it through the plant.  \n\nThis probably won't help at all, since I have no idea of what you're really talking about, but someone once told me that they liked nothing more than attempted BS.

this depends on the plant...different plants have VERY different requirements!

ok i have 2 possible answers. one is evaporation (the part of the water cycle in which water is put back in the sky and turns into clouds. that is my #1 answer but it could be possible that it is photosythesis because of what the plants do during that process but if u still have trouble go to where i go. www.google.com

lol they wilt when they do not have enough water-Imagine you have a long thin balloon with no air in it. The balloon will fall over itself when you try to stand it in an upright position. When you blow air into the balloon, it can stand in an upright position because the air is exerting pressure on the walls of the balloon. In plants, it is not air which exerts pressure, but water. The plant needs water to support it in an upright position and if it loses too much, it will wilt.\n\nIn plants, the exertion of pressure occurs at the cellular level and is called 'turgor pressure'. You can simulate wilting in the cells by placing some plant cells in a strong salt or sugar solution which will draw water out of the cell. Under a microscope you will be able to observe how the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall withdrawing the support given to the wall.\n\nand they wilt in cold weather! \nGood luck in your exams!!

during winter season,the plant does not prepare its food.that means it doesn't require chlorophyll which is used in photosynthesis.the color of the leaves of the plants is due to chlorophyll but otherwise the leaves are actually yellow or orange etc in color so in winters when chlorophyll pigment disappears,the leaves shows its true color.the leaves dry because of lack of food and water which is not necessarily during winters only,it can be due to injury or disease etc also.

Nothing.  Except have a lower water volume due to warmer water molecules converting to gas.  However, the warmer water may have an efffect on the plants you are studying.  If you water a plant with hot water it may kill the plant.

Lots of cloudy weather = less sunlight = diminished photosythesis

It's not the cold, it's the lack of sunlight. If you can afford it, invest in a full-spectrum lamp.
