The plant is called Compass plant (Silphium laciniatum). It has leaves that align themselves in a north-south direction, minimizing direct exposure to the sun's rays and reducing water loss. This adaptation helps the plant to handle the hot and dry conditions of the grassland.
planet? Earth is 150 million km from the sun
It is an outer planet because it is farther away from the sun.
Jupiter would be.....5 planets from the sun. =]
The plant cells away from the sun grow faster than those on the sunny side causing the plant stem to bend toward the sun.
Mangroves are able to turn their leaves away from the sun to limit the surface area exposed to the sun. This is done to conserve the water in their leaves.
To get maximum sun shine, water and nutrients
green plants don't take any gasses from the sun, as the sun is too far away. They get the carbon dioxide gas that they need from the earth's atmosphere. They get energy from the sun.
The closest gas giant, Jupiter, is about 5 AU from the Sun - that is, 5 times the distance from Sun to Earth. The other gas giants are farther away.
Phototropism is responsible, is when the sun rays stimulate the plant at its vascular and cellular level allowing for it's stems cells to bend around towards following the light source (sun). As the plant bends around following the light source, the plant's stem side walls located farthest away from the light source elongate allowing for the plant to travel following the sun.
