I'm doing a science project,(which sadly has nothing to do with the biology 
course I'm taking) on how a plant reacts to the loss of one of its main source 
of nutrients. The plant that I left growing in a dark closet is a bright 
yellow instead if green. Its my responsibility to find out why, but I don't 
have a source of information.
