Why do plants grow more in light?

Answer 1

I am doing an experiment on growing sunflowers in different lights. I am using red, blue and white. I need to know why the ones in the red light and white light are doing so good and the ones in the blue light have died. Can you give me some insight on this please

Answer 2

The three basic photon colors are red, blue, and green. Plants do not use green photons for photosynthesis (hence the plant's green color). The different wavelengths of red and blue light stimulate certain hormones in plants that allows them to germinate, grow, reproduce, and die.

Answer 3

That chlorophyll absorbs red better than blue or yellow (and therefore looks green) is the reason why red light makes plants grow faster.

Specifically, chlorophyll gets produced during a plant's growing season. It is involved in photosynthetic interactions with energizing sunlight. It makes plants grow vertically as opposed to horizontally. A sign of red-lighting a plant therefore will be maximum stem and minimum leaf growths.

Answer 4

Plants use light for photosynthesis, a process where they convert light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose, their primary source of energy for growth. Adequate light promotes photosynthesis, enabling plants to produce more glucose and therefore grow more rapidly. Additionally, light influences various growth processes in plants, such as regulation of hormone levels and development of chlorophyll for energy capture.

Answer 5

Red light excites the electrons more and causes more chemical reactions to occur.

Answer 6

they grow in the light because they get their energy and food from the sunlight

Answer 7

Plants need photosynthesis to grow the sun makes that possible.

Answer 8

They use chlorophyl in their leaves to turn the light into glucose (food) and therefore with more light, they get more food, so grow faster.
