Always heard that the topside of the plant works and grows during the day, and the roots work and grow during the night. Might just be... folklore? Whatever the word is for stuff thats passed down with no real solid evidence.

Google will also probably show us the light.

They talk about you .

The chemical/biology side is quite complicated but simply put-

Plants need to produce energy or they die. To produce energy they form glucose through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a light driven reaction so some of the glucose is converted into startch and stored in cells. At night this startch is converted back to glucose and then into energy.

Respiration is what plants do at night the same as during the day

check out a time laps videos on YouTube of a grow start to finish.
you can see how at nite plants perspire more and droop a bit.
then as morning breaks they take in water and perk up

this explains how water moves around the plant, during the day and at nite... and isn't a bad lil read.

In answer to the title

Christians have SEX (so do we, but we do it with the lights on - fun!! They're not supposed to have fun, just make babies)

The same thing that happens in the light.

Only difference is you can't see it.
