If the night became day and theDaylight hours became dark. In terms of plant light scribe, how do you think this would effect the plants and life on Earth?? Tell me what you think...
A:Not at all
B:Only the life cycle of plant cells would be effected
or C:All life forms designed by god here on earth would effected

The ecosystems would adjust, but would be affected and permanently altered. Things to consider are that not all parts of the planet get 50/50 light/dark. Areas with more light than dark would switch and it would impact the growth patterns, productivity and balance of those ecosystems.

When the earth's rotation reversed, the inertia of the oceans created huge tidal waves that wiped out most everything. But I doubt that was what you were asking.
You were asking if there would be an effect on plants if during the plants life cycle, there was 12 extra hours of darkness in a 24 hour period and the first light seen by the plant was 180 degrees off.
The changes would be minor. Possibly some growth changes may be favored for the leaves to absorb light better. The biggest changes on the plants would be from the changes in the weather caused by the rotational difference. What changes in the weather? That was not part of your question.

A: There is still a 24 hour cycle with same number of light and dark hours, the plants would probably adjust within a week.
As for C, this is a science forum, not religion

If all you're talking about is flipping the day and night cycles without any other changes, there won't be that much of an impact. However.......
If you were to change the seasons, or the length of days and/or nights, then you would have drastic world-wide changes down to the most basic level of plant and animal life.

Completely apart from the complete impossibilty of this, I don't think the effect of the changing of the day/night rhytm would be worse than a good jetlag now.

We have this now in Indiana....it's called Daylight Savings Time. It's just wrong for it to be completely daylight at 10 PM.
