Yes, plants need light to photosynthesize and produce energy for growth. However, some plants can survive in low light conditions, but they may grow more slowly or become leggy as they stretch towards light sources.
Most plants do well without gravity. Not sure they have ever tried to grow a tree in a weightless environment, due mostly to space considerations...
Yes, plants need sunlight to undergo photosynthesis and grow.
Plants need light to grow, in the abyssal/hadal zone, there is no light.
Plants typically grow towards a window facing west because it provides the most sunlight during the afternoon. Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, which is why they tend to lean towards windows to maximize their exposure to light.
Yes, plants need light to mature because light is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce food. Without sufficient light, plants cannot produce the energy they need to grow and develop properly.
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.
