The short answer to your question is yes, but it's a lot more complicated than just replacing chlorophyll with another molecule that can absorb light in the same range. Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which plants convert light energy to chemical energy. read more
Photosynthesis cannot occur in the absence of chlorophyll, for an extended period of time. Photosynthesis has two stages, called the light-dependent stage and light-independent stage (Also called the Calvin Cycle). Chlorophyll only plays a role in the light-dependent reactions, where water is split up using chlorophyll and sunlight. read more
Photosynthesis has both the light and dark reactions. So during th night photosynthesis continues. Photosynthesis does occur with artificial lighting as in a house or lighted shop. The light energy is needed for the light reaction. read more
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which _____ converts to ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. read more
