The part of the plant that is facing the light produces more of it. They also respond to injury - their respiration rate increases like our bodies do, but there is nothing inside a plant that likens them physiologically or emotionally to how we feel "pain". They do not produce chemicals that stimulate them like the chemicals in our brains do. But I do like to think they listen to me when I am whispering to them or telling them a funny story. Thanks for making me think of this. I must go write now. :o) Plants grow towards the light because of their auxin producing chemical.
