Plants respond to sunlight through a process called phototropism. They grow towards light sources to maximize photosynthesis. Sunlight triggers growth hormones called auxins, which cause cells on the shaded side to elongate, bending the plant towards the light.
Yes, a plant can turn yellow and dry despite regular watering if it suffers from other issues such as poor soil drainage, nutrient deficiencies, or diseases. Overwatering can also cause root rot, leading to similar symptoms.
The life cycle of a plant includes germination, growth, flowering, pollination, fertilization, and seed formation. The plant then produces seeds, which fall to the ground and start the cycle anew, continuing the species’ development through these stages.
Yes, animals undergo noticeable growth over time. For example, caterpillars transform into butterflies through metamorphosis, and puppies grow into adult dogs. Observing these changes reveals how animals develop physically and behaviorally throughout their life cycles, similar to plants.
