Yes gravity does have effect on plants because the stems always goes up on earth and the roots do down. But in space plants don't know which way is up and which way is down due to the lack of gravity. The real question is how can plants tell which way is up and which way is down due to lack of gravity?

How do the stem of a plant respond to light?
The shoot of a plant grows towards light and the roots away from light
Do tendrils respond to light touch or sound?
touch ( sound isn't one, it's light, touch and gravity)
What controls geotropism and phototropism?
When the auxins in the plant act towards gravity... positive geotropism is wen the plant goes to the direction of gravity which would be downwards..negative geotropism would be upwards going against the natural gravity Phototropism is when the plant reacts towards the photosynthesis conditions where when light acts on the plant so the auxins burst and the plant bends towards light..this is positive phototropism...but when the plant goes against the direction of light it is then negative phototropism
What is the main stimuli affecting the growth of the shoot of the plant?
light, positive phototropism and towards the light gravity, negative geotropism and grow in opposite direction to gravity NOT WATER
What determines the direction a seedling will grow?
yes Light has more effect. light would affect the direction of foliar growth, the direction of root growth is determined by gravity (with a few exeptions)
Does light respond to gravity?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
How does plant respond to light?
Usually plants respond to light by turning toward it.
Name three stimuli to which plants respond?
gravity light and touch are the three stimuli for plant tropisms.
How do the stem of a plant respond to light?
The shoot of a plant grows towards light and the roots away from light
Does a plant respond to light?
A plant will usually respond to light by photosyntesizing, or making it's own food off of it. I hope I answered your question. -Teek.
How does a plant that is positively phototropic respond to light?
it grows towards the light.
How do plants respond stimuli?
The stimuli that plants respond to include light, water and gravity. Plants grow towards light (phototropism). Also in some plants the flowers will follow the sun as it moves across the sky. Plant roots grow towards water (hydrotropism). Plant roots grow towards gravity/towards the centre of the earth (geotropism). Source(s): I'm a Biology teacher. this is bullcrap it is fake
Do tendrils respond to light touch or sound?
touch ( sound isn't one, it's light, touch and gravity)
How do flies respond to gravity and light?
Pretty much the same way as most things.
How will the roots of the growing bean seed plant respond to the force of gravity?
The roots will first go upward, then downward.
How does a roots respond to gravity?
how does a root respond to gravity
What are tropisims?
Tropisms are slow growth responses . plants respond to things like light , gravity and water.
