Mimosa plants spread their leaflets during the day and fold them at night. You decide to design an experiment to test whether Mimosa's leaf movements are controlled by a biological clock. Which experiment would be the best test of your hypothesis?
◦ Putting the plant in a dark closet at nightfall. Check on the plant at noon the next day, while the plant is still in the closet. If the leaves are open, a biological clock is indicated.
◦ Subjecting the plant to a flash of red light in the middle of the night. If the leaves open at the usual time the next morning, a biological clock mechanism is ruled out.
◦ Putting the plant under a bright light in the middle of the day. If the leaves close, a biological clock mechanism is ruled out.
◦ Growing the plant indoors and turning the lights on in the middle of the night. If a biological clock is controlling leaf movement, the leaves will open.
