ANSWER:
When a layer of oil is applied on the surface of the leaves, stomata present in the leaves get blocked and affects photosynthesis in plants.
EXPLANATION:
Stomata are the pores present in leaves of a plant that are responsible for entry of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and exit of oxygen. Applying oil on the leaf layer would block stomata and forbids the entry of carbon dioxide.
As carbon dioxide is the primary ingredient for performing photosynthesis in plants, blocking of stomata affects the transpiration in plants and photosynthesis does not takes place.
