Nocturnal plants bloom (open their petals) at night. But, as with all plants, their leaves are always “out in the open”. Plants photosynthesize using the chlorophyll in their leaves, so they are able to make food anytime sunlight hits them.
If plants need sunlight to make their food how do nocturnal plants photosynthesize?
There are about 320,000 knowns species of plants.
How many types of plants are there?
P.S. sorry for such a difficult question.
