Does the Sunflower follow the sun?

Question

Does the Sunflower follow the sun?

Answer 1

Yes!  Many plant follow the sun.  It's called phototrophism.  Cells on the sunny side of the plant's stem push out water and contract while the cells on the shady side fill up with water and expand.  There are some other trophisms too where plants react to other changes in the outside environment

Answer 2

yes it does allong with a few other plants as well.

Answer 3

Yes. Actually, from personal experience I find that most plants have a tendency to slant towards the angle to which the sun is strongest during the day...

Answer 4

YES!

When the plant is in the bud stage, it tends to track the movement of the sun across the horizon. Once the flower opens into the radiance of yellow petals, it faces east. No one knows why. However, it is likely a defensive response. Facing south or west could result in sun-scalding of seeds during very hot days.
