How does temperature affect plant growth?

Answer 1

Water temperature affects plants in a major way. Both high and low temperatures have their advantages/dis-advantages. High water temps THE GOOD higher level of plant chemical reactions, more vigorous root growth, nutrient salts dissolve easier THE BAD higher chance of root rot, less dissolved oxygen Low water temps are vice-versa

Answer 2

Yes, temperature does have an affect on the growth of a plant. If the temperature reaches a certain temperature such as -7 degrees grass will freeze, but not die. If the temperature reaches a high of 120 degrees grass's water will evaporate and the plant WILL die from dehydration. It is much the same for all plants, although plants vary as to how much effect temperature has on them and we can alter the amount of effect somewhat. For example, during times of extreme heat, we can water the lawn.

yes it does because if it is to cold than it will die

Answer 3

Yes. For example, some essential parts of plant growth include respiration, photosynthesis, and storage. Respiration will increase with temperature. The rate of photosynthesis will also increase as temperature increases to a certain extent. If the temperature is too high, some enzymes can denature (break down). Low temperatures will help storage sugars because the plant uses little amounts of energy.

All plants have optimum temperature ranges. In the case of vegetables, some love chilly weather, it will kill others outright. Some thrive in hot weather, others are stunted by it, or go to seed. You can see that temperature can have considerable and widely varying effect on how all plants grow.

Answer 4

It depends on the type of plant. There are some plants that thrive in incredibly warm temperatures, like a cactus, and some that are just the oppisite. Your question needs to be more specific.

Answer 5

Temperature absolutely affects the growth of plants, so the answer to the question is yes. Use the link below and it will lead you to a post that helps you understand this.

Answer 6

well i am a bender and my name is stevie mallion

Answer 7

I don't know if this is correct but I think that since they can survive in a specific temperature, it affects them and they either start getting too moist or dry.

Answer 8

Yes
