PLANT GROWTH

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is true about plant growth?
A
Plants cannot grow without warmth.
B
Plants can grow without Sun’s energy.
C
Plants can grow without water.
D
Plants can grow without air.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants can grow well in an optimum temperature range. Weather that is colder than plants can handle slows down life processes in those plants and causes them to eventually wither away. Plants adapt their physiology and morphology according to their habitat by developing adaptations.

Detailed explanation-2: -High temperatures are unfavorable for the growth of many plant species because the rate of photosynthesis (the basic process plants use to make sugar) begins to decline rapidly after a critical high temperature is reached.

Detailed explanation-3: -Differences between air temperature and plant temperature. Most biological processes will speed up at higher temperatures, and this can have both positive and negative effects. For example, faster growth or fruit production is one benefit, in most cases.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Without adequate light, carbohydrates cannot be manufactured, the energy reserves are depleted and plants die.
