If you are saying PHOTOSYNTHESIS based plants (called as photoautotrophs) then starch production requires light as a must. But if you forget photosysnthesis there is something else called Chemosynthesis glucose is produced with no light necessity. Try to research on these terms you could discover surprising facts.

see all the GREEN plants need lite to make starch by the process of photosynthesis and they r called autotrophs. bt there certain other plants for example THE PLANT VANDA r the parasitic PICTHER plant dat cant synthesis starch by themselves
they depend on the other plants r animals for their food and those plants r called heterotrophs .

Yes. To make photosynthesis. When photosynthesis is made, the plant produces starch.

yes light drives energetically unfavorable reactions in favorable direction like anabolic pathways.chlorophyll pigments absorbs light energy as exiton from photons And drive the synthesis of ATP which are utilised to drive metabolic reactions.

yup.............. by the word photosynthesis.......... photo means light and synthesis means mix.......... photosynthesis is the process of converting light or heat into starch then to sugar then to food... if there is no light there will be no photosynthesis
