Yes it does. Plant seeds distinguish between up and down based on gravity. Thatis how they decide the direction in which to send the first shoot. This needs to go in the "up" direction so that it can then capture sunlight and produce energy for its growth.

Does greavity have any effect on plants?

Gravity affects the growth of plants whereby for a plant to grow vertically upright, it needs a strong structural base, and it also makes the roots to grow downwards and determines how tall a plant can get.


Is their any relation between gravity and surface area?

not particularly, essentially the effect of gravity depends on its mass and your distance from it


Does gravity effect the phenotype of a plant?

Perhaps you mean to ask if gravity "affects" the phenotype of a plant? In a word, yes. For instance, a tree typically grows in a vertical direction. If a pot that holds a young tree is tilted at an angle, the new growth will be vertical, although the existing trunk will be at an angle relative to the ground. Most plants that live on land can tell which way is up and respond to this as they grow. "To effect" something means to make it happen. Gravity does have effects on plant phenotypes, but gravity doesn't "effect" the phenotype of a plant.


What is the effect of gravity on velocity?

Gravity affects velocity by changing the acceleration of an object. As an object falls, gravity accelerates it, increasing its velocity. Without gravity, an object would move at a constant velocity.


What effect do gravity have on a moving object?

All objects attract one another (exert an attractive force), due to gravity. The effect of any force, including gravity - if there is no force opposing it - is to accelerate the object (i.e., change its velocity).


What effect does heat have on an experimental plant?

In general, heat waves do not have any effect on the biomass of a plant in an experiment. The heated water or water from a microwave also does not affect the plant.


Is there any effect of gravity on atomicforces?

there is no effect of gravity on atomic forces because gravity is very very weak than the atomic forces(Gravitational Force = 10-38 Atomic forces, Weak=10-13 Strong=1).


What is a plant's response to gravity called?

A plant's response to gravity is called gravitropism or geotropism.

no


How acceleration effect gravity?

Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.

Discuss the effect of weight on gravity?

It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
