If a seedling receives light from only one side, it will tend to grow towards the light source. This is known as phototropism. As the plant grows towards the light, it may become elongated or bend in the direction of the light source, which can affect its overall growth and development.

What happens when a seed has no light in its germination?

When a seed lacks light during germination, it will still be able to sprout with the help of stored energy within the seed itself. However, without light, the seedling will grow tall and spindly as it desperately seeks light for photosynthesis. This phenomenon is known as etiolation.


A young plant which has just started growing from a seed?

The young plant at this stage is considered a seedling. It is in the early stages of growth, typically with only one or a few leaves. As it continues to grow, it will develop into a more mature plant.


Why would most plants not grow very well under only green light?

Most plants will grow in white light, as it is closer to blue light. Blue light is the light emitted from the sun for the majority of the day. Green light has a very small place on the spectrum and therefore does not appear much. However, if the plant is hardy, it may grow in any light or even no light.


A student exposed two plants to only red light and two plants to only green light. Which plant will grow best?

The plants exposed to red light will likely grow better. Red light is more essential for the process of photosynthesis, which is crucial for plant growth. Green light is reflected rather than absorbed by plants, so it may not support growth as effectively.


Where on the ocean floor can algae survive?

They can only live on the floor if there is enough light. If the algae is kelp, then it can grow long enough to reach light but still would have to be close to the light when small.

Do leaves grow only when it rains?

Leaves grow when the plant receives water, which can come from rain or other sources like watering. Rain provides a natural and essential source of water for plants to grow, but they can also grow with other forms of irrigation.


Can a seed grow in the dark or in the light?

No, seeds grow in day and night. It is even better if it rains. I can remember when I did something like that many years ago when I was still at school! lol (edited) Actually, I know only few seeds that grows in the dark because they cannot survive too much heat from the sun. I think it burns and dehydrates them. Seeds mostly grow under sun or fluorescent/incandescent light, where it can photosynthesize.
