Question

What is/are the factor(s) that affect plant growth and development?

• A. Light
• B. Temperature
• C. Nutrients
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The growth and development of plants depends upon multiple factors such as light, temperature, water, nutrition, etc. Plants perform photosynthesis to prepare their food with sunlight. Some plants grow in hot, tropical climates while some survive well in cold climates. Not only this, a lot of enzymes present in plants require the optimum temperature to function. In addition to that, plant growth and development also requires different nutrient minerals like nitrogen, carbon, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, etc. for physiological processes.
