Students planted the same type and number of seeds in pots A and B. The amount and type of soil in both pots were also the same. Each plant received the same amount of water each week. Pot A was placed by a sunny window. Pot B was placed in a closet. After four weeks, the students observed the plants in both pots. The plants in pot A were green with thick stems. The plants in pot B were yellow with thin stems. Which statement best explains why the plants in pot A were different from the plants in pot B?

C) Pot A received more sunlight than pot B.

Explanation:

Seeds or plants require some very important factor to grow that include carbon-dioxide, water and sunlight to undergo the process of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and releases oxygen and energy.

In the given example, both the plants received equal amount of water and soil but the difference is in the position of the plant, in which plant A was placed by a sunny window from where plant have undergoes the photosynthesis process and grew with green with thick stems. while plant B was placed in a closet where no sunlight was present and the plant grew with yellow with thin stems.
