This is due to tropic movement(tropism) in plants in which the fixed part of a plant(such as stem) moves in response to a stimulus.If the stimulus is light(as you have asked) then it is termed as Phototropism.And further more stem shows positive phototropism.
Plants grow toward light through a process called phototropism. This is controlled by the plant hormone auxin, which causes cells on the shaded side of the plant to elongate, bending the plant towards the light source.
Phototaxis
Plants grow toward light through a process called phototropism, where they detect the direction of light using a hormone called auxin. This hormone helps cells on the shaded side of the plant elongate, causing the plant to bend and grow towards the light source.
Plants use light energy from the sun to perform photosynthesis, a process where they convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose) to create food. This process is essential for the growth and development of plants.
Phototropism is the plant's growth response towards light. It allows plants to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis by growing towards the light source. This process involves the plant hormone auxin, which causes cells to elongate on the shaded side of the plant, leading to bending towards the light.
its an response :)
Auxin is the plant hormone responsible for causing plants to bend towards light. This process, called phototropism, occurs when there is a higher concentration of auxin on the shaded side of the plant, causing cells to elongate and the plant to bend towards the light source.
Plants bend as they need light for photosynthesis. Its scientific term is phototropism.
Plants lean towards light in a process called phototropism, which is an adaptive mechanism to maximize their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. This is due to the plant hormone auxin causing cells on the darker side to elongate, causing the plant to bend towards the light source.
Well, the leaves tend to face toward the light.
Plants respond to light through a process called photomorphogenesis, which involves changes in growth, development, and gene expression in response to light signals. Plants can sense the quantity, quality, and direction of light to regulate processes such as germination, phototropism (growth towards light), and flowering. Different wavelengths of light are perceived by specific photoreceptors, such as phytochromes and cryptochromes, leading to various physiological and developmental responses in plants.
Photosynthesis is the chemical process that uses light to process carbon dioxide in plants.
