Answer:

Germination.It is possible because sunlight is not needed for seeds to grow into young plants.

Case Study

1:

Is sunlight needed for the process of germination?

No. During germination, the seed only needs air, warmth and water.

Sunlight is needed only when the leaves of the plants start to grow / appear.

2nd stage of the life cycle – young adult plant stage

The leaves need sunlight in order to make food

What will happen to the plants if the container were to be left in an enclosed area after the leaves of the young plants start to appear?

Answer:

The plant may shrivel and die because the plant is not being able to make food due to the absence of sunlight.
