Answer 3

Were you asking about lighting or lightning?

Lighting definitely has an effect on the growth of plants.  If kept in very dim light or no light the plant stems become elongated, yellowish and weak.  In bright light, chlorophyll will develop normally.  Colors of light can also effect the growth.  Some plants are sensitive to red and far-red light and length light and dark periods which will induce flowering or seed germination.
