Answer:
No
Explanation:
It receives bright sunlight, but no water. Without water, the light dependent reaction cannot take place, therefore the plant cannot produce glucose to survive.

No, the plant will not produce glucose since it does not get water to perform photosynthesis
- Plants produce glucose by the process called photosynthesis.
- For photosynthesis to take place there should be adequate sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
- Here, the potted plant receives a good amount of sunlight and carbon dioxide through the open window, but this is not enough.
- Along with that, water is also an important requirement for glucose production since glucose is formed by the reaction of carbon dioxide and water.
