Do plants sleep at night?
I read in the article that plants do sleep at night as the process of photosynthesis stops at night. What do you think?

Plants do sleep at night. During night, the photosynthesis proces ceases and only respiration takes place. The glucose which is prepared in the plant during the day time is rapidly transported to various plant parts and is stored there. The walls of the guard cells collapse due to reduced osmotic pressure and the stomata gets closed.

i was not aware of the fact that she is a teacher of botany.so if i will have any query regarding botany or terms related to it i will now ask her. :)
Yes plants not only sleep at night but the feel disturbed as well like human. I still remember my mother who used to say that never pluck a fruit or flower as plants are like living creatures who might get disturbed.
Yes I too was told that !Apparently, Plants do sleep at night or after sunset since they begin the process of photosynthesis, which is making food that gets stored in various parts of the plant.However, they still continue with the process of respiration...
