Why do plants turn their Leaves to the sun?
Plants grow toward the sun because the side of the plant that is shaded grows faster. Very simple concept; think about this. A plant is under (let's say) a bench and light shines only one side. That plant heads toward the sun because the side without light is now grwoing faster, thus leaning toward the sun.
How does tropism work on plants?
It occurs so that the plant will always place the broad side of it's leaves toward the Sun.
Why does a plant move in the dark?
Plants may exhibit movement in the dark due to a phenomenon known as "nyctinasty," which is a response to environmental cues like light and temperature. In darkness, some plants may close their leaves or flowers to conserve moisture and protect themselves from cold temperatures or herbivores. Additionally, certain plants may continue to grow or orient their leaves toward any available light sources, seeking to maximize their exposure to light when it becomes available again.
Which response is result of geotropism?
Growth of plants toward the light is called phototropism. Growth of plants in response to gravity is called geotropism or gravitropism.
Will plants grow toward sunlight or artificial light?
Plants will naturally grow toward sunlight as this provides them with the energy they need for photosynthesis. While plants can use artificial light for growth, they do not actively grow towards it like they do with sunlight.
Do plants face towards the light or away form it?
Well, the leaves tend to face toward the light.
Which of the following is an example of a plant responding to an external stimulus?
The closing of a Venus flytrap in response to the touch of an insect is an example of a plant responding to an external stimulus. The plant detects the movement of the insect triggering the trap to snap shut, capturing the prey for nutrition.
Can plantae move?
I have been walking in the woods in shorts and saw the tip of a nettle bend toward me until the leaves hit my leg and stung me. Plants also do move to orient their leaves and/or flowers toward the sun. Other than that, plant movement is environmental (wind, rain, gravity).
What are plants that has chemotropism?
Plants such as parasitic plants, like dodder and mistletoe, exhibit chemotropism. These plants use chemical cues to locate and attach to their host plants for nutrients. By responding to chemical signals, they can direct their growth towards a suitable host.
What does leaves grow toward?
light
Carry water to the leaves and carry sugar and oxygen from the leaves to the living parts of the plant that need it?
Xylem carries water from the roots to toward the leaves. Phloem carries sugar and nutrients from the leaves toward the roots. Oxygen is transported by diffusion, NOT by the liquid transport system.
How does sunlight affect the direction that a plant goes?
Plants use sunlight to make energy and most plants tend to take in sunlight through their leaves and/or petals (of the flowers) because they are the broadest part of the plant (and therefore have the most "receptors" for the light). This is why the plants often seem to "turn" toward the sun. In other words, if a plant only gets sun from one direction, its leaves will be turned in that direction to collect the sunlight and it may grow in that direction (either on a tilt or send runners out that way). Some plants (such as sunflower) move with the sun throughout the day to maximize the amount of sunlight it collects. Short answer, plants generally grow toward the sun (or the direction where they get the most sunlight).

Why do plants grow toward sunlight?
We know that green plants make their food by the process of photosynthesis. The leaves of the green plants contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll converts water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into oxygen and sugar. Oxygen is then released into the air and sugar is taken as food by the plant. But this entire process of making food can only be done in the presence of sunlight. The leaves, therefore, lean towards the light for photosynthesis. Without sunlight green plants cannot survive.
