Most plants get energy by photosynthesis, a process in which the plant's cloroplasts asorb the energy from the sun and convert it into processable energy. When a plant is in darkness, it cannot asorb sunlight, therefore it won't get sufficient energy. When gardining, be sure to provide the plant with adaquate light, but not too much or the plant could die.

∙ 15y agoThey affect plant growth in many ways, one of them is as you know light is needed for photosynthesis, the plant which get sufficient light would grow better than the others that don't. Also light also affect the tropism of plant, the Auxine Hormone will make the plant bending to the source of light.

∙ 10y agoTranspiration is the process of water movement through plants. Stomata are the pores in plant cells that allow transpiration to occur, and the opening of stomata cells are triggered by light. Therefore, stomata cells are closed during darkness, and transpiration cannot occur.

Photosynthiesis effect on the growth of plants in light or dark?
photosynthesis is the process by which plants harness the suns light to produce energy so they can grow.
Why does the color of a light affect a plants growth or does it?
The color of a light does affect a plants growth. Plants absorb certain colors of light better than others, and, essentially, the more light a plant can absorb, the more it can grow.
What is the effect of light on the growth of plants?
The effects of light on plants are divided up into four main categories. Photosynthesis is the process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy. Photoperiodism is the relative effect of the length of daylight to the flowering of plants. For example, "long day" plants flower when daylight is longer than a certain length of time, and "short day" plants flower when daylight is shorter than a certain length of time. Phototropism causes plants to grow according to the direction of the light source. Some may bend on an angle and grow that way toward light. Photomorphogenesis is the effect caused by the quality and intensity of light. Some seeds need light to germinate, etc.
Does light effect the direction of growth of a plant?
Plants need light and they will grow towards where they receive an optimal amount; plants will face where the light is. You can experiment on your own by growing your own plant and using a desk lamp as the light source. As the plant grows, it will lean towards and face the light source directly.

How does light effects plants?
How does light effect plants is a broad topic for one most plants like sunlight (light). For plants that require light it is very important for them to produce photosynthesis the prosses of turning light into energy. Although the color of light can also effect a plant for example blue light = growth, Blue & Red light = Flowering and green light = nothing.
How does light energy effect plant growth?
It helps plants prepare their own food through the process called photosynthesis.
Can you have a night light on your marijuana plants and will this effect their flowering cycle?
Yup, it might affect it. YOu are going for 100% darkness during nighttime flowering cycles.
