do plants have............????

Question

conscienous> are they aware of things like we are?

Answer 1

They are possibly sentient(meaning they might have senses).

There is a man who is constantly doing studies. Cleve Backster.

He started out as a polygraph expert, and wanted to see how long it took a plant to draw water into its leaves from the roots. He connected it to the polygraph, thinking that the polygraph would detect it when the water reached the leaves. However, what he found was that the plant responded to threats similarly to a human taking the polygraph would. He has continued to do tests, and has continued to find odd patterns suggesting that plants do have some sort of sense.

Answer 2

There have been experiments done to show that plants do have some sort of awareness of pain, and even the location of the person who inflicted it - even when he was in the room next door. It freaked them out so much that the whole thing was abandoned, and no-one has been game to do any confirming experiments.
Yes, it's freaky, but you never know, do you?

Answer 3

I do not know because I am not a plant.
However with no nerves it is hard to imagine that they tink thoughts.
They do respond to their surroundings, some plats turn their flowers and their leaves to follow the sun. Mimosa plants fold up their leaves if you touch them. Venus fly traps close on flies and eat them. But are plants actually self aware, I sincerely doubt it.

Answer 4

I really don't know what they have. They do react like they do at times. If you ever planted a pole bean then you ought to have seen it seek out something to wrap itself on. Even if you have a stake a foot away from it, it seems that it will find it and then wrap itself on it. If nothing else is around, it will wrap itself on itself.

Is that awareness?
Yes I think that it is.

Is it comparable to the kind of awareness that we have?
I don't really know.

Answer 5

Scientifically they have no brains. The brain allows mammals to have dreams hunger urges generally felling. Yes plants are living things consciousness no i doubt it at least on the brain level maybe collectively?

Answer 6

Plants can feel changes in their surroundings and are aware of predators, as far as being like us... nope.

Answer 7

No. to have consciousness you have to have a brain, which plants don't possess.

Answer 8
