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.

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 ...

Feasibility of a moon-planet orbiting an F star
Would this combination of factors make sense?
You know, the answer here is "idk maybe ?". Making sense is itself kinda hard to pin down since your description is super vague. You could look ...

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 ...
