A student placed a sprig of green water plant under a funnel in a glass vessel full of water and then
placed a test tube full of water mouth downward over the stem of the funnel. After the setup had been
exposed to sunlight for several hours, the student tested a gas that had collected in the test tube and
conlcuded that the plant had produced oxygen. The result of this experiment could have been
