What happens to a houseplant if it is placed in a dark, windowless room?

Almost all indoor plants love lighted rooms. If you place one of these plants in a dark or dimly lit room, then it will begin to turn yellow, then the foliage will crumble and over time this will lead to the death of the plant. This is especially true for young plants. After all, adult plants, with a well-developed root system, are more resistant to adverse conditions, including a lack of lighting. But over time, all the same, adult plants die.
The plant dies due to the lack of many elements that the plant receives during photosynthesis. After all, if there is no light, then photosynthesis practically does not take place.
