Have you ever wondered why bananas are curved instead of straight? This unique shape is the result of a fascinating process called "negative geotropism". When bananas begin to grow, they initially grow downwards, influenced by gravity. However, as they develop, they start to curve upwards towards the sun.
This happens because the plant hormones, triggered by light exposure, cause uneven cell growth throughout the banana, causing it to bend. By growing against gravity, bananas can expose more of their surface area to sunlight, which is crucial for their growth and sugar development. Bananas are beautifully adapted to thrive in their environment!
