Your Bananas Are Curved Because of THIS #biology #plantscience #shortsAdded:
Have you ever wondered why bananas are curved? It's actually because they're fighting gravity. Bananas begin life hanging downward toward the ground like most fruit. But as they grow, something strange happens. They slowly twist upward, reaching for the sun. Scientists call this negative geotropism. A plant's instinct to grow against gravity to seek more light. Because bananas start facing downward, this sudden turn bends them into their famous crescent shape. So remember, the curve is shaped by a silent battle between gravity and the sun.
