PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST AND DONT FORGET TO FOLLOW ME PLEASE!
Explanation:
Plants may not have eyes, ears or a tongue, but their skin can perform many of the same functions. Plants are not only aware of when it rains or when it’s windy, but they can respond accordingly.
Dr Kim Johnson, a research fellow in the School of BioSciences, University of Melbourne, studies the world of plant senses.

“Plants are constantly under environmental stresses. You can actually see how plants respond to those physical stresses because they change their shape,” Dr Kim Johnson says.
“So if a plant is getting constantly hit with strong wind, it will actually change shape to better resist that wind; if roots hit a rock, they’ll grow around it, so they sense things around them.”
Dr Johnson’s research could have a significant impact on industries across the world, including agriculture.
“Plants grow in a very different way from us, because when we’re born, we already have our body plan locked down, and then everything just grows from there,” she says.
“But plants have a much more simple structure to start with, and pretty much all their organs – leaves, roots, flowers – come after they’re born. So what I want to know is: how is that regulated in response to mechanical or physical stress?
SEEEYA DONT FORGET TO MARK AS I TYPED THESE ALL
Today's belief is that
- The misconception that more plants are killed for vegans than for non-vegans is an understandable one (we do eat a plant-based diet after all) but in fact the opposite is true. Because we are so disconnected from the animals we kill for food, those making the 'plants feel pain' argument seem to forget that farm animals also need to eat and that they're fed a constant diet of plants. Lots and lots of plants. When we consider that there are seventy billion land animals being raised for food at any given time (compared to seven billion humans) it'snot too hard to work out who most of the plants are being killed for.
- Around half the grain grown globally is fed not to humans (despite the millions who are starving) but to livestock, with forty seven percent of soy and sixty percent of corn grown in the United States alone being fed to the animals we eat. And so when we consume diets of meat and other animal products we are indirectly causing many more plant deaths than if we simply ate them directly.
- We have to eat something of course, and as we have no biological need to eat animal products but we must eat plants to survive (we die without plants, we thrive without meat) then the single best way to avoid excess plant fatalities is through the adoption of a plant-based diet.
- A final point to consider is the simple truth that if I picked up a kitten, a puppy, or even a piglet (an animal most agree it's fine to kill) and proceeded to hack at their limbs, mutilate their bodies, or cut open their throats, most people would be shocked and traumatized and do anything they could to stop me.
- Yet those very same people feel nothing at all when mowing their lawns, picking flowers, or plucking an apple from a tree - these acts are even considered pleasurable (it's almost as if we're naturally herbivores).
- Cutting the head off a pig is not the same as cutting the head off a flower and pushing a knife into a cucumber is not the same as pushing one into a kitten. There's a reason it's uncomfortable to see someone kick a dog but not to kick a tree, and there's a reason why we happily take our kids to pick strawberries but we wouldn't dream of taking them to the slaughterhouse.
hope it helps you.....Plzzzz mark me as brainlist
