How would plants be affected if they stopped responding to lighr and gravity?

They would die because they would be floating in the air without soil and in order to create their own food, they need light (photosynthesis).

How does your distance from plants affect your gravity?
Your distance from plants does not affect gravity. Gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass, such as the Earth and everything on it. Plants do not have a significant influence on the force of gravity acting on you based on how close you are to them.
What is powered by gravity?
Waterwheels, hydroelectric power plants, and falling weights are some examples of devices or systems that can be powered by gravity. Gravitational energy is harnessed to generate electricity or perform mechanical work in these cases.
Which of the following indicates a plant's response to gravity?
Geotropism is the plant's response to gravity. Plants exhibit positive geotropism when they grow towards the gravitational pull (roots), and negative geotropism when they grow away from it (shoots).
What is the name for a plant's growth response to gravity?
Certain plants react to gravity by growing against it or towards it. It is the tropism of gravity called a geotropism. For example, if a potted plant falls over then it will continue to grow towards the sky. If a mudslide occurs and it drastically tilts the land where a tree grows, the tropism allows the tree to grow upwards. Alternatively, geotropism works for roots as well. Roots will respond to gravity by growing downwards. It can be observed that no matter which way a seed is planted the roots and the shoots respond to gravity in opposite ways. Plant hormones, auxins are responsible for this response. Phototropism is the response of plants to light.
How does water defy gravity?
Water defies gravity through two main mechanisms: cohesion and adhesion. Cohesion is the attraction between water molecules, allowing them to stick together and form droplets that can resist gravity. Adhesion is the attraction between water molecules and other surfaces, allowing water to climb surfaces, such as plants, through capillary action.
If transpiration stopped completely how would a plants homeostasis first be affected?
Water molecules would not be released from the leaves. I guarantee this is correct! I got the question right on my test with this answer!
How are plants affected by different amounts of uv radiation?
Plants are affected by UV rays. Some of them die in their presence.
Which are affected more by their surroundings plants or animals?
plants
Does the sun have gravity or atmosphere?
yes it has gravity, that's how the plants orbit it.
What indicates plants response to gravity?
Geotropism, the tendency of some plants to grow straight up, against the force of gravity.
What plants are not affected by bacteria?
Bryophytes are not affected by bacteria & viruses
What plants are affected by deforestation?
as it there will be no food and to much sunlite for the plants
Can plants grow sideways or upside down?
Just like the tospey turvey! Well, the water and nutrients travel very fast to the plants because the roots are at the top so the dont have to travel very far down.
How would plants grow in zero gravity?
They wouldn't
What does cellulose provide for plants?
Support against gravity.
How do plant responses help plants to survive?
Some plants grow up and down, the directions being determined by gravity. (stem up, roots down)
What problems did astronauts have growing plants in low gravity?
Due to lack of gravity the roots grew upwards.
