Could plants orbiting an active enough star (one that’s around F-type) evolve photo-voltaic cells as the star “calms down”?
Here are some of my reasons and solutions to your problem. Remember, I am an artist, not a safety inspector or physicist, so I like when things catch on fire and/or explode.

Could plants orbiting an active enough star (one that’s around F-type) evolve photo-voltaic cells as the star “calms down”?
It is hard to predict what possible forms life can take based on the one planet we know has life on it. It is hard to see how life could exist without carbon, as this element has a unique ability to ...

With the amount of energy that the plants would get from the star being so high even after it cooled off an appreciative amount they wouldn’t be able to use normal photosynthesis that uses a ...

Can there be plants on the dark side of a tidally locked world?
I would make it a staged energy economy for the plants. First phase.. the food is transported there from the energy rich site.. by energy rich things (seeds, plant byproducts (leafs) and decaying ...

Can there be plants on the dark side of a tidally locked world?
If there is life on the hot side then the cold side will be kilometer thick ice, unless it's ammonia based it simply can't exist. If there is no life on the hot side because it's way too hot then ...

On a planet with a 2 atm atmosphere, how would atmospheric pressure affect plant evolution?
The main effect of a higher atmospheric pressure would be the higher partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the increased density of the atmosphere.
While plants would still be evolving to ...
