Why does the sun effect the growth of plants and not others?

Why does the sun effect the growth of plants??
Plants contain an organelle called chloroplasts which is the sole purpose as to why plants go through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis wouldn't be able to occur without the sun. This is why plants thrive but it is not the sole reason as to why plants grow.
Reply:You should read a book called "The Secret Life Of Plants". Plants need the sun light so that thy can do something called photosyntheses. This is the process were the plant is converting the energy of the sun into an energy that the plant can use to grow this is a chemical process. Here is you a link to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionar...
Reply:photosynthesis most likely


and their CELLS are different than other living things.


just guessing...

Reply:First, as shown in the other answers, plants use sunlight for photosynthesis. The energy from sunlight is used by the chloroplasts in the plant cells to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, including starch and cellulose.





Second, some plants will change their growth patterns to maximize the exposure to the sunlight in a process called phototaxis.





Third, sunlight can exert a drying effect on plants, so certain plants can withstand hot, direct sun, e.g., cactus, while others need a shady environment, e.g. ferns. This effect helps to determine the species of plants in a particular environment.
Reply:Because plants need sunlight for photosynthesis. No duh.
Reply:the sun effects the growth of all plants because sunlight is needed in order for photosynthesis to take place
