Only certain plants grow toward light ex. sunflowers some plants like tomatoes grow like the topsy turvey thing hangs tomatoes upside down they grow down not up and most time the light comes from the opposite way they are growing
Many plants do grow towards light, this is called being phototrophic.
Towards. As in, phototropism. The tendency of plants to grow towards light.
The stimuli that plants respond to include light, water and gravity. Plants grow towards light (phototropism). Also in some plants the flowers will follow the sun as it moves across the sky. Plant roots grow towards water (hydrotropism). Plant roots grow towards gravity/towards the centre of the earth (geotropism). Source(s): I'm a Biology teacher. this is bullcrap it is fake
Plant roots generally grow in the soil. In the case of aquatic plants, they are already in the water and do not need to grow toward it.
Response is a characteristic of all living organisms. One example of plants responding can be seen with their response to light- a plant will grow towards a light source.
There is a plant hormone called auxins. In a plant such as a sunflower, the auxins will distribute themselves on the dark side of the plant where they will cause the the expulsion of H+ ions decreasing the Ph of the cells on the dark side of the plant. This decrease in Ph will cause a weakening of the cell wall and swelling will occur ultimatly allowing the plant to move and organize itslef towards sun light.
plants grow towards light because of something called photo-tropism. this is why they will grow towards light. Search up Phototropism on Google!

they grow biger
They grow towards the light!
They need light to activate photosynthesis and get nutrients. Because they need light to even grow, most plants grow towards the light.
Yes plants do grow towards sunlight that is why some plants lean to a certain side.
Plants will always grow towards the light source. Turn the pot a quarter turn every day and it will grow straight.
Phototropism is when plants grow towards light.
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.
Yes. My dad grew a bunch of plants near a window- they were clearly growing towards the sun.
Plants phtosynthesise to produce energy. Photosynthesis involves turning light energy into chemical energy (glucose) so plants grow towards light so that they can absorb more light and therefore produce more energy that they use to grow etc.
