What will happen to the shoots of the plant if it only gets light from 1 direction?

its because that green plant has the same colour as the the plant . therefore the answer is a yes . it does help a plant to grow well . the other thing is that green light helps the plant to absorb sunlight to photosynthesize . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am afraid the previous answer is misleading. Plants can grow towards the light because they make a hormone called auxin. This passes down the shoot from the tip and concentrates on the side away from the light. Here, the auxin makes the cells grow longer, causing the shoot to bend more on the shaded side and so grow towards the light. Green light is not absorbed by plants but is transmitted or reflected by them. This is why plants look green. The best colours for photosynthesis are red and blue light.

∙ 16y agoPlants grow faster in the sun light, they utilize this with Gravitropism, the plant's tendancy to "know" which way is up, and Phototropism, plant's tendancy to "know" which way the source of light is, which is utilized by its photosynthetic properties.

∙ 14y agoThe plant will grow towards the sunlight. This is called positive phototropism. It results from the stem cells on the non-sunny side of the plant growing longer than the stem cells on the sunny side making the plant tip towards the light

∙ 11y agoMost plants respond to sunlight by slowing their growth in cells that face it. The result is the plant turns to have its leaves or flowers face the light, and explains why plants grown in darkness get so tall. This is also an advantage in a shaded forest or jungle. Short plants get taller.

How would a houseplant respond to sunlight that comes from one direction?
by curling its stem around its leaves
by closing its leaves at night
by growing roots downward through the soil
by bending its stem toward the sun

∙ 14y agowell the part with no light will try to grow into the light

∙ 10y agoThe shoot tips probably bend toward the light. A shoot bends because cells on one side of the shoot grow longer than cells on the other side of the shoot.

What happens when a plant gets light from only one direction?
When plant gets light from only one direction then plants bends towards light .
What benefit is there for a plant's shoots to have positive phototropism?
They get towards the light and do photosynthesis to make their own food.
What will happen to a plant under artificial light?
It will still grow as artificial light is still light.
What would happen if a plant's terminal bud was removed?
This will redirect the sap flow to the ancillary buds below and force them into growth giving more shoots but delaying flowering.
What happen to plant leaves grown in light?
the plant leaves will grow healthy.the color will be green
If a plant gets light from only one direction the shoots would likely do what?
The plant needs light to grow. So, the shoot has a tendency to grow towards the direction of light to receive more of it. The above result can be obtained by a simple school project involving growing of common beans in a cup, and keeping it in a shoe box with only one hole in the corner for light to enter.
What happens when a plant gets light from one direction?
When plant gets light from only one direction then plants bends towards light .
What happens when a plant gets light from only one direction?
When plant gets light from only one direction then plants bends towards light .
What is phototropism what does have to do with plants?
Tropism is the growth response of a plant caused by a stimulus. Gravitropism is the growth response of plant to gravity. The roots grow downward towards gravity, which is called positive gravitropism. The stem and upper part of a plant grow upward, away from gravity, which is called negative gravitropism.
What benefit is there for a plant's shoots to have positive phototropism?
They get towards the light and do photosynthesis to make their own food.
What do you think will happen to the plant if any of the parts that make up the shoots system were injured or diseased?
the plant cannot transport the water and minerals to the leaf for the production of food and the plant will die
What will happen to a plant under artificial light?
It will still grow as artificial light is still light.
What would happen if a plant's terminal bud was removed?
This will redirect the sap flow to the ancillary buds below and force them into growth giving more shoots but delaying flowering.
What happen to plant leaves grown in light?
the plant leaves will grow healthy.the color will be green
Where does light happen?
They occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts in plant cells.
What is photoropism?
Phototropism is a property of plants. A phototropic plant grows in the direction of a source of light, usually the Sun in the natural world. This is in contrast with, for example, a gravitropic plant that grows in a direction opposite to that of the force of gravity. "Photo" derives from the Greek word for light.
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)
