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?

Class 11th Biology - Exemplar 13. Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Answer :

When a plant is kept in the dark and ventilated correctly, carbon dioxide is still present.

However, it's sun-free. Therefore, photosynthesis cannot be performed in this plant. The plant can be supplied with adequate amount of water to maintain its survival. However, due to lack of nutrients, the seed would eventually die.
