In what type of lighting does a plant grow best?

What distinguishes a seed from a nut?
The seed of a plant is an embryonic plant that would grow into another specimen given time. It is protected by the plant's fruit. The nut is a kind of fruit and contains the seed.
If a plant is tipped on its side the shoots will likely?
If a plant is tipped on its side, the shoot will still grow upward.
How would the growth of a plant be affected if it were lying on its side?

Is it bad to grow marijuana to close to the side of the pot?
It's bad to grow any plant too close to the side of a pot. It should be in the center.
What do plants grow upward?
plants grow upward, because they are attracted to sunlight. This causes them to follow the light and grow closer to it. For instance if you put a growing plant in a pitch black room, except for, say a flashlight, to its right side for a certain amount of time the plant will grow to its right side.
In plants what is the purpose of auxins?
Im going to improve the answer from before because its a bit rubbish! Auxin is a hormone found mainly at the tip of a plant which helps it grow towards the sun for photosynthesis. When sunlight shines on one side of the plant it will destroy some of the auxin. The other side of the plant wont be in the sunlight, it will be in the shade, so it will have more auxin. This means the shaded side of the plant will grow more than the lit side, so the plant will grow towards the light source. This gives the plant a better chance of survival as it can photosynthesise more. :D
Are used to make corn and wheat grow taller?
Yes because, Auxin is a plant hormone produced in a stem tip that promotes cell elongation. Then Auxin moves to the darker side of the plant causing the cells there to grow larger than the corresponding cells on the lighter side of the plant.
What role do plant hormones play in photo-tropism?
In phototropism, plant hormones control the growth and development of plants due to light. For example, in positive phototropism, auxin, a hormone, speeds up the rate at which plant cells grow. It builds up on the shadier side of a plant, causing those cells to grow faster than the cells on the sunny side of the plant. With longer cells on one side than the other, the stem bends toward the light.
Why does a plant start to grow up when it has been put on its side?
Plants have a complex set of hormones which control their growth and these hormones are responsible for the 'directional' growth of the plant. Simply put, plants will grow up when they are put on their side because 'up' is where the sun is and plants will always grow towards the sun.
Are Auxin's used to make corn and wheat grow taller?
Yes because, Auxin is a plant hormone produced in a stem tip that promotes cell elongation. Then Auxin moves to the darker side of the plant causing the cells there to grow larger than the corresponding cells on the lighter side of the plant.
Does a plant grow faster with water or an energy drink?
Plants grow faster with water because, it can get its own glucose through photosynthesis. On the other side energy drinks are full of weird colors and stuff anyway, which wouldn't help the plant to grow but the energy in the drink would probably give the plant the energy to grow faster. Water is free from all the chemicals, and helps the plant to grow faster.
Would a plant still grow upwards if you place it in different directions?
A plant does not grow upwards. A tropism is the growth of a plant in response to a stimulus. This means a plant does not grow upwards, it grows towards a stimulus which in most cases is light. Try it out, put a plant in a dark closet with a light on one side and watch the plant grow towards the light. The results should be clear after a number of days. The plant's response to light is known as phototropism. Hope I helped :)
How does fertilizer helps plant grow?
actually fertilizers help a lot but at the same time it also effects plant growth.It gives nutrition to plant like a booster but the fertility of soil decreases.so fertilizers are to be used only when it is to be used.It is good but has side effects.some fertilizers won't have side effects.Manure is best with no side effects.
