You have decided to do an experiment to learn if a certain type of cactus will grow better in a dark closet or a sunny window. To begin your experiment, you place one cactus in a dark closet and one cactus in a sunny window. Over the next month, you record data about the cacti and their appearance every day. At the end of the month, you determine that the cactus in the sun is alive but didn't grow and that the cactus from the dark closet is alive and grew one centimeter. Can you conclude that a dark closet is better for this type of cacti's growth?

Yes because if the cacti would stay in the window and not grow it would eventually die because it is not getting to grow, but the cacti in the dark closet will live because it is growing and doesn't need sunshine.
