The evidence that might have led the scientist to conclude that the plant does not photosynthesize is: "There are no chloroplasts in the plant’s cells." Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, so the absence of chloroplasts suggests that the plant is not capable of performing photosynthesis.
