Do tomato plants like caffeine? Why?

A lot of sites says fertilizing your tomatoes with coffee grounds helps growth. So I was wondering if it was the caffeine that was responsible for this or at least how it helped. I looked it up and got no answers for what i was looking for to the fact that tomatoes like caffeine and why.

By looking it up, I know acidity and nitrogen have to do something to do with the reason that coffee grounds help tomatoes grow. But why does CAFFEINE? Having nitrogen provides leafy growth and tomatoes like soil which has a pH of 5-7 but how doe CAFFEINE contribute to this?

Please help and quick i need this info for my science fair which is in like 2 days!
