It would die after it had used up all the potential energy stored in its glucose molecules.

Answer: The plant would die.

Step-by-step explanation:

The plants make use of the sunlight during the daytime to convert the light energy into chemical energy.

This energy is used by the plants for various types of activities. If the photosynthetic cell is deprived of sunlight for a longer duration of time then it will die after all the stored glucose is utilized.
