can photosynthesis take place presence of light bulb?

Answer 1

Yes, but not efficiently.

Household lightbulbs don't give off the proper infrared and ultraviolet spectrum to facilitate photosynthesis; it'll happen... but will be terribly inefficient and your plant will probably die.

You'd need something just a bit more powerful. See here:

Answer 2

yup. i did it last year on aquatic plant called elodea. but the rate of the photosynthesis will be depend on the color of the light because each color light has different intensity. for example, the blue light bulb gives higher rate followed by red, yellow and last green.

Answer 3

Yes. I grow my seedlings under a florescent light. I don't think just a plain light is enough spectrum for a plant to bloom and make seeds.

Answer 4

yes. lighted blub creates heat and light which are necessary for photosynthesis to occur

Answer 5

well, It is light. There are many Experiments that try to grow plants in Artificial and Natural light :)

Answer 6

YES IT CAN. DEPENDS ON THE LIGHT'S POWER (HOW MUCH LIGHT IT PROVIDES) AND ON THE PLANT (SOME NEED A LOT OF LIGHT, SOME USE VERY LITTLE LIGHT).

Answer 7

yeah of course, how else do people grow marijuana, i bet you've seen all those movies, with the lights in the closet, etc

Answer 8

yes as long as is light or heat it will.

Answer 9

yes it cud

Answer 10

???

yes

it is light
