How can you be sure plants dont feel pain. Be it differently than we do . They do react to injury.?

I don't see how they could. They would need brain and nerve cells, which I don't think they have.

I heard plants respond to the vibrations or electronic \nimpulses the music emits.I watched a show on this where\nthere hooked up measuring electric impulses or what have to \nplants and that they do respond.I am not certain of any developent improvements..Because it also depends on the \nenviromental adaptation of the lineage from which the\nparticular plants seed came.

yeah plants can get cancer. i dont think it is as big of an issue for them though, because they dont have critical organs like brain, liver etc that the cancer can infiltrate- just stems and leaves, and the cancer would have to be pretty extensive to kill them off

Well, i don't know for sure either,\n\nbut i've been reading in some books that telling about an experiment by turning a Classical music and a Heavy Metal music beside a plant (the same species of plants with the same caring), it turns out that the plant with classical music was grow healthy and gave a good fruit, while the Rock plant kind of skinny and don't even gave any fruit, and die slowly.\n\nI never seen it by myself, but i think it's logical that the sound wave (wich is energy) somehow bringing some kind of information (or effecting by force) to the plant (life being) and effecting the life of the cell...\n\nI haven't really make a research on this anyway, i have another project right now...\n\nHope this help\nBless You

I do not believe in any elaborate answer because it creates a confusing in the mind of questioner and also the reader therefore I want to give a simple answer to this question that, yes the plant can feel the pain though it has no brain or nervous system. After all the plant is a living organism and all living organisms have certain characteristics of living in which responce to stimuli is one, therefore the plant always shows its responce to the stimulus and in that cases the xylem and phloem together with the water circulation with in it plays a major role.

ok i have 2 possible answers. one is evaporation (the part of the water cycle in which water is put back in the sky and turns into clouds. that is my #1 answer but it could be possible that it is photosythesis because of what the plants do during that process but if u still have trouble go to where i go. www.google.com

One of the difficulties that water plants have that land plants do not is gas exchange.  Plants need to be able to get air to their roots and aquatic plants usually do this through special tissues that lead to the air.

most house plants should be able to grow under those conditions...they sell speial flourescent likes that are taylored for plants but a normal one should do the trick

Depends on the kind of plant. If it is a desert-adapted plant, it can avoid excessive heat by orienting its leaves vertically to minimize heat load or leaves can be extremely hairy to reflect sunlight that would cause leaves to heat up. Other plants in more mesic conditions just transpire a lot of water through their leaves, which is a little like our sweating.

When there is nerve damage, you might have neuropathic pain..which often shows as tingling, burning, or feels pressure sensitive. or You might not have any any sensation.\n\nIf pain is the issue, there are medications good for nerve pain..tricyclic medications as an example, ..but they take about 3 months for blood levels to rise and where there would be an effect.\n\nIf pain is not the issue, but you've lost function..that is different.  The doctor might order an EMG.  They put small surface electrodes on the path where the muscles would be stimulated and check the electrical activity with a machine, that shows a type of graph.  Doesn't take long.  You don't give enough detail to know how to answer re treatments.  ..sorry

no, its not a pain response.  spiders are different from us in that they don't move by contracting long muscles as we do.  we move around by the contraction and relaxation of long muscle groups in our bodies.  a spider on the other hand, uses its blood as a hydraulic fluid.  it moves by pumping the blood in and out of the legs, extending and contracting them in the process.  so, when you 'squish' a spider you remove all the blood---and the legs contract as a result of not having any blood pumped into them to extend them.\n\nPS===don't squish spiders.  they are beneficial to us.

Because when your tissue is not receiving blood, is is also not receiving oxygen and nutrients and toxins are building up in there, doing damage. Your brain reads this new information (when you get feeling back) as pain.\n\nGood Luck!

No, that should be perfectly safe.  Moss is a type of primitive plant it won't hurt you.  I would be more worried about the health of the plant, some moss plants can be sensitive to light and salt levels.  I would water it with rain water or demineralised water because most tap water has too much salts and would make the plant unhealthy.  I would start by keeping the plant on a windowsill so that it gets a good amount of light, if you have it in a dark room it may not get enough light to photosynthesise.  \nHope this helps

we dont really know. more than likely, yes they do feel pain.

There really is not much good information about the effect of music on plants because all attempts to do controlled studies on plants and music result in "no difference". Any "differences" between a music treatment and a no-music control (or other-music treatment) in pseudoscience studies can almost always be attributed to some difference in other variables in the project which have not been suitably controlled (light, water, fertilizer, soil type, humidity, etc.)

WOW! While I am a huge fan of endorphins and I love the sore feeling (I know it may sound nuts) I totally disagree with that kind of pain. I have been an athlete all my life and I am now a trainer. Day after a strenuous workout, you should feel sore when sitting (like on the pot) or when lifting and even a little tingle when you stretch in the morning. YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL PAIN! Most definitely not to the point of needing a pain pill. You need to let him know you are hurting. You are using too much weight or resistance or maybe going too hard too long. You could be doing damage to your muscles that is permanent. Your body is not able to replenish your muscles with the needed nutrients that is lost during a work-out and that is needed to expand the muscles and help burn calories because it is being damaged. You need to stop this NOW!

Wrong category, Mister/ Miss. Re-post this Q under 'Gardening' so that you get answers...\n\n:o)
