Answer 2

 OBSERVATION:

           We would see bubbles coming up in the water. The leaf is still using the sunlight as a part of the photosynthesis process (where leaves convert sunlight to energy).

             As a leaf creates that energy, it needs to get rid of the items it no longer needs so it will expel both the extra oxygen during  photosynthesis along with water (the release of water from a plant is called transpiration).

            The process of photosynthesis is somewhat allows us to see the bubbles -- as the leaf releases its' extra oxygen while submerged, the oxygen can be seen as bubbles in the water.

              And since oxygen is lighter than water, the bubbles will eventually rise to the surface.
