Why would a scientist measure the amount of sugar in wheat plants in order to see if plants need light?

How does the amount of light affect how plants grow?
Plants are autotrophs, they need light energy to prepare chemical energy and this is called photosythesis...plants need sunlight for its growth and development.
Does light effect the direction of growth of a plant?
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.
Why Do some plants have spines instead of broad leaves?
These plants grow in shady places have broad leaves because in shady places there is less amount of light and broad leaves can absorb maximum amount of light.....
What instrument would you use to measure the amount of light under a tree?
The answer is...The Internet
Why plants cannot grow deeper than 20m in the sea?
the amount of light they get.
What can scientist measure when light rays are emmitted by a moving source?
Scientist measure when light rays are emitted by a moving source the speed of light. Depending on the moving force they can also measure bending light.
How does a spectroscope extend a scientist's ability to observe light?
It allows a scientist to measure the wavelength of light.
What scientist showed plants need light to grow?
Someone

Can you measure lighting?

Is the amount of bending influenced by the amount of time seedlings spend in the light?
Yes it is, the plants need for sunlight will bend the stem to increase its reception of light.

Atoms can absorb energy in their orbital electrons and release it as light scientist use a what to measure the light in order to what?
spectroscope.....find out what kind of atoms are giving off light energy
What is a light year and why do scientist use it?
A light year is a measure of how far light can travel in one year. It is a phenomenal distance, and is used to describe how far away stars are from us.
