yes because they use the sunlight to create photosynthesis which is where their leaves take in sunlight for the key nutrients they need

∙ 13y agoyes this is called a phototropism. Plants grow toward any strong light.

∙ 13y agoOk I belive its because the stem of the plant is pushing through gravity and also it help the top of the plant so the plant grows.

What is a plants response to gravity?
(meaning: tropo; turning, bending; geo, earth) The innate condition in plants to grow their roots toward gravity. The same happens with the leaves that grow towards the sun; this instead is called phototropism.
What is the connection between the sun biomass fossil fuel and the Greenhouse Effect?
biomass and the sun are the same. because the sun growes plants and we burn thoes plants for electricty.
Why is the part of the earth that is tilted towards the sun warmer?
The Sun is just so hot that even a slight tilt towards the Sun will make it warmer, which is one of the reasons why nights are usually cooler than the day.
Where did the fossil fuels get there energy?
Ultimately, all energy only comes from the Sun. This is how the energy is transferred: Sun>plants>animals. Therefore, fossil fuels obtain their energy from plants itself and animals when they've consumed plants.
Why roots of the plants always move towards the earth?
it is to collect more water
What makes plants bend?
the sun makes plants bend because it happened.
Why do potato plants follow the sun?
I suspect that like most green plants the potato has gibberellins (growth hormones) in the stem that migrate to the side of the stem opposite the sun. On that side they stimulate stem growth, causing the stem to bend towards the sun.
Can plants eat sunlight?
Auxins cause plants to respond positively to sunlight. These are chemicals found in plants that are far from a light source, which cause the plant to bend towards the sun.
What do plants grow towards?
the sun
When a plant leans towards the sun it is a reaction of what?
plants lean towards the sun to gain nutrients, that is an adaptation. They also use th sun photosynthesis plants lean towards the sun for photosynthesis. When they leann towards the sun it is an adaptation
Do plants grow towards a light source?
Yes. My dad grew a bunch of plants near a window- they were clearly growing towards the sun.
Comparition and contraction between phototropism and gravitropism?
If I am not mistaken, phototropism is when plants grow towards the sun. Gravitropism is when plants grow towards the ground.
Why do corn stalks stand up?
probably because they are going towards the sun. most plants that are above ground reach towards the sun.
Why do the roots of plants bend away from sun light?
why roots of plant grow away from light
What is the thing that plants do this towards the light?
Plants have things in them called auxins. The lighter the place, the more auxins a plant will have. Auxins make the plant's cells stretch towards the light, making the plant bend and get taller.
Do plants show movements if so what factors influence plants movement?
plants show extremely small movements towards the sun.
How does the position of the sun affect the growth of a plant?
Plants depend on the sun for energy. They will angle themselves so that their leaves get the maximum sun exposure. This is called phototrophic growth. Plants will grow towards the sun.
