In a laboratory experiment, a plant receives sunlight and water, but not carbon dioxide. Predict what happens to the plant and construct an explanation for your prediction using what you know about the light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

Plants require carbon molecules during photosynthesis to produce sugar. In the event that one of the required components in photosynthesis goes missing, the entire process would be affected. In this case, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease dramatically. If the plant is not getting the organic compounds needed to produce its own energy, the plants will wilt and die.
