Answer 1

omg No i dont think soooo lol

Answer 2

I don't think I've ever heard a plant scream

Answer 3

I heard something like this in a Roald Dahl story once, about plants screaming very high pitched like bats when cut...imagine the horrendous bloodshed when a huge family picninc takes place on a vibrant park grassy area...

Answer 4

Interesting theory. I know plants respond to sounds.

"take 2 houseplants and put them to the test, put em both in front of speakers, let the music do the rest. One you play mozart of something lovely like that, the other you play that Petra or Megadeath"

Answer 5

If plants did scream... I'd be having nightmares.

No, I've never heard of this anywhere. As far as I know, no plant possesses the mechanism for creating noise(of their own volition) . There are some plants that have qualities that could protect them from being eaten but there is always some creature that has developed to feed on them. As far as other ways of shying away from other types of danger. I don't know.

Answer 6

Anna no doubt you will get some cranky answers to your questions. However, my late mother-in-law would not have cut flowers in the house as she was sure that all plants screamed when they were 'chopped' as you so nicely put it. It created all sorts of problems when her daughter came to get married...there was a compromise the bride had silk flowers and only pot plants in the church.

Ha ha....who can say?

Genetics and botany scientists have proved that plants are also the living things like other living things,coz they have reproductions cells as other living things,they grow like other living things grow,they breath like others do''they intake oxygen and convert into carbon dioxide during night and intake carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen during the day,this is one of the Allah's mercies upon us that the plants maintain the ratio of oxygen in the air otherwise there were nobody survived on earth.

    In our area there are plants which we call them in our language ''choui moi'' means in English,if you touch their leaves they close themselves due to shyness.

    About their feelings of screaming,might be they scream but we can't hear or feel their expressions.

    Any how Allah has created all these things either plants or animals for the benefits of human beings and He created us for his obedience,as its mentioned in Quran.Allah guide us to the right path.Amen.
