|
|
Photosynthesis would take place in the plant’s roots instead of its leaves.
|
|
|
The plant’s leaves would not be able to capture sunlight.
|
|
|
The plant would absorb more carbon dioxide to make up for the lack of chlorophyll.
|
|
|
The plant would absorb less sunlight and would grow more slowly.

Detailed explanation-1: -A plant with no chlorophyll means there is a plant that does not produce its own food via photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -In absence of sunlight the green chlorophyll pigment gradually undergoes degradation and no new pigment molecule is formed, giving the leaves of the plant a pale yellow color.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is termed as photosynthesis because it can only occur in the presence of sunlight. The chlorophyll pigment in plants help in trapping the energy from the sun. Glucose, Oxygen and water are the products formed during photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light-usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.
