It could be nearly anything. For starters it could become sturdier and have a stronger structure, or it could develop a looser structure that harnessed the pressure and help it grow. It could be nearly anything!
Most likely yes. If a cactus was planted in a damp area, then it may grow very slow, as it does not need much water. If an orange tree was planted in a desert, it would surely die, as it needs plenty of water.
Yes, the environment affects plant growth. A species that is native to a dry region or desert are can be expected to have adaptations that will allow it to grow with the minimal amount of water, it may also have storage mechanisms to store food that it produced when water is in abundance. For example the cactus, it has spines instead of leaves to reduce transpiration as well as deter predators that may try to eat it, it has an extensive and shallow root system to quickly absorb any rain that may fall. Cacti for example store up energy and produce few, but highly attractive flowers which die within a very short space of time.
Plants in the tropics/ jungles have large leaves as they compete actively with other plants under the canopy of trees for light and water. They flower more often and for longer periods, they may have edible fruits to attract as many animals as possible in order to spread their seeds.
A more local and easier way of observing the environmental differences in plants is to look at house plants. Exactly the same plant will adapt within a few weeks to changes in light intensity, air movement of watering. For example if you move a plant away from a window within a few weeks the stem will start to bend and stretch towards the light and the leaves may increase in size (to offer greater exposure to light). They may not undergo a complete metamorphosis but will adapt as best as possible to survive in the environment they are placed in.

How do experiments on plants growth contribute to our understanding of plant development and environmental factors affecting their growth?
Experiments on plant growth help us understand how plants develop and how environmental factors impact their growth. By studying how plants respond to different conditions, we can learn how to optimize their growth and improve crop yields.
Does the largest plants produce the largest yield?
Not necessarily. While larger plants may have the capacity to produce more yield, the actual yield also depends on various factors such as plant health, nutrient availability, environmental conditions, and proper care and maintenance. It is possible for smaller plants with optimal conditions to produce equally large yields as larger plants.
Do plants grow from the bottom or top, and what factors influence the direction of their growth?
Plants grow from the top, where the shoot apical meristem is located. The direction of their growth is influenced by factors such as light, gravity, hormones, and environmental conditions.
Compounds that are not essential for basic plant growth and development but are involved with their ability to survive environmental conditions are called?
Secondary metabolites. These compounds are produced in response to stress or environmental stimuli and help plants adapt and survive in changing conditions. Examples include flavonoids, alkaloids, and essential oils.
Describe the effect of environmental conditions on the cell cycle?
Many proteins within the cell control the phases of the cell cycle . Signals from surrounding cells or even from other organs can also regulate cell growth and division. Enviormental conditions including the availability of nutrients also effect the cell cycle . -Hope that helps ! :)
What would the environmental effect be if the sun went missing from the sky?
All the plants would die, because plants rely on the sun to make food.
What is the following Both plants and animals adjust seed and egg production to meet environmental conditions?
central point
Testa in plants?
Test is a the hard outer protective layer of the seeds. It protects the seed from adverse environmental conditions
How long can aquatic plants survive out of water?
Aquatic plants can typically survive out of water for a few hours to a few days, depending on the species and environmental conditions.

Why can seed plants adapt better to their environment than spore-producing plants?
Because seeds have better chances of survival in adverse environmental conditions than the spores
Using specific examples, explain the effect of different environmental factors on phenotype of crop plants and animals?

Genes whos effect does not normally occur unless certain enviormental factors are present?
Genes whose effect does not normally occur unless certain environmental factors are present are Conditional mutant. The mutant that has a wild type phenotype under certain environmental conditions and a mutant phenotype under other conditions.
How long can outdoor plants survive without water?
Outdoor plants can typically survive without water for about one to two weeks, depending on the type of plant and environmental conditions.

What is the connect the plant and environment of reproduction?
plants produce seed which onset their germination only when suitable environmental conditions are available...... thus environment plays an important role in the reproduction of plants,.
