Question

Seedlings grown in dark are

• A. Similar to those grown in light.
• B. Taller than those grown in light.
• C. Shorter than those grown in light.
• D. Not able to grow.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Taller than those grown in light.

Plants require an adequate amount of water, nutrients and sunlight for their proper growth and development. When plants do not enough sunlight or are grown in areas of darkness, their branches and stems tend to bend towards the source of light. This is one of the tropic movements of plants. Because of this curvature and bending, it appears that plants that grow in darkness are taller.

So, answer B "Taller than those grow in the light" is the correct answer.
