a lack of carbon dioxide

Answer 1

The primary factor that would lead to the plant's death in a sealed transparent glass container is a lack of carbon dioxide.

Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which allows them to produce sugars (their food) and oxygen. While the transparent container allows light to enter and thus supports photosynthesis, over time, the carbon dioxide within the container would be consumed, leading to a lack of carbon dioxide necessary for the plant to survive.
