How long does it take for corn to grow in dark places?

You will be waiting for an eternity, because any plant will not grow in a dark place. Plants, including corn, need sunlight to grow. They will not grow if they are not exposed to sunlight.


How do know when to harvest corn?

when the corn looks ready


How does energy from the sun get in your body?

Yes, your body runs on "solar energy". Here's how. 1. The Sun shines down on the Earth - specifically, the Earth's oceans - and surface water (from lakes, rivers and oceans) are evaporated. The water vapor forms clouds, and the clouds often result in rain. 2. Plants grow on the surface of the Earth, using rain and sunlight. Sometimes we eat the plants directly, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and other raw vegetables. 3. Sometimes we cook the plants to make them more palatable; corn, beans, grain that becomes either bread or cereal. Cooking requires energy; the energy may be directly created by solar power systems, or by electricity generated from hydroelectric power (where rain falls in the mountains, feeding rivers that spin turbines in dams) or coal, oil or natural gas (in which the fuel is formed by decomposing plant or animal material trapped in rock layers). In any event, the original energy is solar, no matter how it was stored or for how long. 4. Animals like pigs, cows and chickens eat the grain, plants, or vegetables; we kill the animals and eat them. 5. Even nuclear power is solar energy, although in that case, the "solar" is from long-dead Suns from billions of years ago. The uranium, thorium and other natural radioactive elements were created in the titanic explosions of supernova stars, and that dust became part of our planet when it formed 4.6 billion years ago.

How do corn oil and petrol get their energy from the sun?

Corn plants get their energy from the sun through a biochemical process called photosynthesis. Petrol energy is also from the sun in that, even though it comes from underground, it is the remains of plants and animals from millions of years ago which got their energy in the same fashion that corn plants do now. (The plants used the photosynthesis; the animals ate those plants.)A:Ultimately, it can be said that the energy from petrol and corn oil come from the Sun. Corn oil is produced from corn. Corn gets the energy needed for its survival by photosynthesis, which needs light. The energy from that light(which comes from the Sun) is stored in chemical substances, such as corn oil. Petrol is formed from dead organisms over the course of millions of years. These organisms, when they were alive, consumed plants(such as corn). The energy from the corn(remember, it comes from the Sun) is stored in the meat of the animals. After they die, this energy is now stored in Petrol, after millions of years.Energy from the Sun -----> Energy in Plants -----> Energy in Animals -----> Energy in Petrol

Does corn make corn plants?

Corn is a plant.


Do corn plants have glucose?

Corn plants does have glucose. Most of it comes from the leaves.


Does corn contains sugar?

All plants (including corn) contain sugar (usually glucose and fructose) to a certain extent. It is their method of storing energy for later use after producing it from photosynthesis.


Where does a grasshopper gets its energy from?

They eat various plants through their mouth which they then digest in their stomachs.


How does grass store energy?

they get energy from the sunlight also by photosynthesis


Do corn plants need supports?

No, corn plants do not need supports that are commonly found on plants like beans or tomatoes. Corn plants have a sturdy stalk and tend to do well when separated from neighboring plants by at least one foot.


Are all corn plants the same?

All corn plants are corn, but the various "varieties" and hybrids have widely different characteristics, both of the plants and of the corn produced. The largest cultivars for human consumption are hybrids (sweet corn) rather than the field corn which is native to North America.


Do corn oil and petrol get their energy from the Sun Both corn oil and petrol are sources of energy Petrol comes from crude oil which is formed from the remains of dead organisms Explain?

By the food chain all animals get their energy from eating other animals which eat plants, plants make energy using sunlight therefore the dead animals all got their energy from sunlight, the dead animals became crude oil therefore, crude oil gets its energy from the sun QED
