Which process causes the leaves of a plant to become larger?

The process that causes leaves to become larger is called cell division and elongation, which is driven by the plant hormone gibberellin. This hormone promotes cell growth and expansion in the leaves, leading to an increase in their size.


Which organelle when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate?

The cell wall when increased in size causes plant cells to elongate. This is accompanied by increase in cytoplasmic contents also. Thus, the dry weight of the cell also increases with the elongation of cell wall.


When A plant grows toward the light. The plant and action is an example of?

Phototropism is the plant's growth response towards light. It allows plants to maximize light absorption for photosynthesis by growing towards the light source. This process involves the plant hormone auxin, which causes cells to elongate on the shaded side of the plant, leading to bending towards the light.


When water is lost from a plant why does the plant look wilted?

When water is lost from a plant, the cells in the plant lose turgor pressure, which is the pressure that water in the cells exerts against the cell walls. This turgor pressure helps maintain the plant's rigidity and structure. Without enough water, the cells lose this pressure, causing the plant to wilt and lose its firmness.


Is poison ivy a bacteria?

No. It is a plant; a flowering vine which is toxic and causes a severe rash when it touches the skin. Bacteria are microscopic organisms, and they can cause problems too, but they are different from poison ivy.
