Explanation:
plants deprived of light will lose their color and die . The shoots exposed to "limited / no " sunlight had a yellow / white color due to the fact that photosynthesis could not occur . The lack of sunlight stunted photosynthesis and therefore the sprouts where not able to produce chlorophyll needed to create green color
Cells must move materials through the {membrane} and throughout the {cytoplasm} to maintain {homeostasis} Movement of substances is regulated because membranes are {semi} permeable. Membranes are {phospholipid} bilayers that contain embedded {proteins} The cells external environment and cytoplasm are aqueous, meaning that solutes such as {salt}are dissolved in a solvent called {water} Water may travel slowly through the membrane by {osmosis} or quickly through protein channels called {aquaporins}
I am pretty sure that the thing which most likely happen to plants if they did not have a waxy outer coating is being revealed by the last option D. They would be harmed by insects and UV radiation. Every plant has to be protected by membrane so that it would be able to deal with drought small invaders and other external forces.
