That's why the sunflower chases the sun!

Trending This is why sunflowers chase the sun! If you saw a sunflower plant growing, you would know that the sunflower flower always turns to the sun. Sunflower flower has eastward at the time of the sunrise. As the earth turns and the sun moves to the west, this flower also turns to the west with the sun. At night, if the sun is not visible, turn this flower from west to east. The next morning the flower repeats the same thing. Sunflower itself means that a flower to the sun and the movement of this plant with the sun is called ‘heliotropism’ throughout the day. Heliotropism in sunflower is caused by the internal biological watch of the plant and the auxin hormone. This hormone helps plants to grow. Due to direct sunlight, the auxin hormone present in the stem of the plant is demolished and accumulated on the side where direct sunlight does not fall. That is, during the day, the part of the stem of the plant that is away from the sun (to the west) will grow more. Due to this imbalance in voice growth, the plant turns to the sun. If the sun is not visible at night, that part of the stem of the plant in which the auxin hormone was broken during the day is capable of growing. Therefore, the plant turns from west to east at night. Once fully and mature, the sunflower stops to turn with the sun and always looks at the east, as pollinating insects are more active in the morning sunlight. Due to the warmth that the flowers of the morning receive sunlight, more and more pollinating insects come to the flower, which helps the plant to reproduce.
