How do plants respond to heat?

Answer 1

Plants use chemicals and chemical reactions to grow and reproduce, most of those chemical reactions are temperature dependent. If a plant is to cold or to warm, some chemical processes do not work and the plant can not grow.

Answer 2

In a hot climate, plants are faced with scarce water and hungry predators. Therefore cacti have spines to deter predators and stems that can store water. They also have root systems which are very spread out, so that they can collect water from a large area.

Answer 3

Plants respond to heat by opening their stomata to release excess water through transpiration, which helps cool the plant down. They may also produce heat shock proteins to protect cells from damage caused by high temperatures. In extreme cases, plants may undergo processes such as wilting or dormancy to conserve energy and prevent damage.

Answer 4

Don't look at this website because people type in the answer's! like peanut butter fort reacts bad to heat that's a plant?

Answer 5

When plants are exposed to even slightly hot temperatures they begin to catch fire and explode in an earth shaking ball of fire and heat.

Answer 6

they have storage mechanisms... for example, cactus leaves (the spines... those prickly stuff sticking out) serve for defense, while the stem is for the storage... :D

Answer 7

All objects in our Universe with a temperature radiate heat in the form of infra-red radiation, which is a form of electro-magnetic radiation.

Answer 8

Plants react to sunlight by growing towards it.

Internally sunlight initiates the process of photosynthesis in plants.
