Additional observations were made on day 21, and no yellow-leaved seedlings were found alive in either dish. This is most likely because

(A) yellow-leaved seedlings were unable to absorb water from the paper towels
(B) taller green-leaved seedlings blocked the light and prevented photosynthesis
(C) yellow-leaved seedlings were unable to convert light energy to chemical energy
(D) a higher rate of respiration in yellow-leaved seedlings depleted their stored nutrients


Ans: (C) yellow-leaved seedlings were unable to convert light energy to chemical energy
