NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The plants which grow best in full sunlight are called heliophytes. Heliophytes have a thicker stem, short internodes, many branches, well-developed roots, thick leathery leaves with more hairs per unit area. Intense light favours the formation of flowers, fruits and seeds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants growing under direct sunlight are known as Heliophytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sciophyte: Plants which are adapted to live under low light conditions are called sciophytes, e.g herbs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution. ∙ Option A Sciophytes are the plants that prefer to grow in shaded or low light level areas. These plants are also known as photophobic plants and have a greater photosynthetic unit to carry out photosynthesis even in shaded place.

Detailed explanation-5: -All plants require light for photosynthesis, the process within a plant that converts light, oxygen and water into carbohydrates (energy). Plants require this energy in order to grow, bloom and produce seed.
