Can a plant survive without sunlight?

Purpose:

I wanted to see if a generic plant can survive without sunlight. We know that it takes sunlight, water, and oxygen to make food for the plant.(Photosynthesis,2012). But if we take a vital part of the process of photosythesis, sunlight will the plant survive? Natrully in the real world we know that without food, any organic substance will die. There are two reasons why im only testing plants, first animals don't have chloroplasts and hence don't have chlorophyll, which when stimulated absorb sunlight.( Light, 2012). The other reason is, that we can't test on vertabrates and so plants are the next best thing. My plan on the expierement is to have two radishes in containers with the same soil, same amount of water intake, but im going to have one set in a dark closet without any sunlight, while the other sits in the room with sunlight.
