Two students are engaged in an argument about whether or not a plant can live independently inside of a sealed jar for up to two weeks by using energy from the sun and energy from the mitochondria to carry out all of its life processes. Student A: The plant can live independent of other organisms such as animals, because it can obtain nutrients to grow, reproduce, make needed materials, and remove the waste on its own.
Student B: The plant only relies on other organisms, such as animals that produce the carbon dioxide needed to obtain nutrients to grow, reproduce, make needed materials, and remove waste.
Based on the diagram, which student's argument is BEST supported? Use evidence from the diagram to support your reasoning.
