Medical student in the United Kingdom, having previously studied Biology at A-Level. I spend a good deal of my time volunteering with St John Ambulance, which I find fantastically rewarding and when I'm not writing essays I'm handling flags here on Bio.SE.

comment What organs are absolutely needed by the human body?

comment What are the long-term negative effects of going without water/food for a period of time
Please read the FAQ section on etiquette when posting: "Treat others with the same respect you’d want them to treat you". I don't believe that this requirement has been met with your tone in this question. Regarding @MCM's comment, don't vandalise content you have previously posted to the community. I realise that the cross posting issue has been resolved Skeptics side, however a more constructive course of action would have been to flag your original question for reopening.

I don't unfortunately have time to write a full answer right now, but you will want to look at tropism on Wikipedia, particularly geotropism and heliotropism
