  2. Adaptation (eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)

    The human eye can function from very dark to very bright levels of light; its sensing capabilities reach across nine orders of magnitude. This means that the brightest and the darkest light signal that the eye can sense are a factor of roughly 1,000,000,000 apart. However, in any given moment of time, the eye can only sense a contrast ratio of ...

    The distinctive fruit, a multiple fruit that resembles an immature orange, is roughly spherical, bumpy, 8 to 15 centimetres (3–6 in) in diameter, and turns bright yellow-green in the fall. [5] The fruit excretes a sticky white latex when cut or damaged. Despite the name "Osage orange", [6] it is not related to the orange. [7]

  5. Phototropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropism

    Phytochromes are photoreceptors that sense red/far-red light, but they also absorb blue light; they can control flowering in adult plants and the germination of seeds, among other things. The combination of responses from phytochromes and cryptochromes allow the plant to respond to various kinds of light. [ 16 ]

    The YPF curve indicates that orange and red photons between 600 and 630 nm can result in 20 to 30% more photosynthesis than blue or cyan photons between 400 and 540 nm. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] But the YPF curve was developed from short-term measurements made on single leaves in low light.

  9. Shade tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_tolerance

    Most red light gets absorbed by the shade-intolerant canopy plants, but more of the far-red light penetrates the canopy, reaching the understorey. The shade-tolerant plants found here are capable of photosynthesis using light at such wavelengths. [citation needed] The situation with respect to nutrients is often different in shade and sun.
