The stomata is the small opening on the leaves of a plant. These tiny opening are the organs the plant uses during respiration to allow the intake of carbon dioxide and the expulsion of oxgen.
During photosynthesis the the plant depends on glucose to produce energy but the plant is unable to produce glucose on its own.
The glucose that is produce dusring photosythensis is used in cellular respiration to produce ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate). The glucose is then converted back into carbon dioxide which is vital during photosynthesis.
This therefore means that when stomata is blocked photosynthesis will stop because the CO₂ level will decline within the leaf, stopping the reactions that are light-independent.

The rate of photosynthesis will decrease if the stomata on the surface of leaves be covered with dust.
1.Stomata are minute pore like structures consisting of guard cells and stomatal pore, together it can be called as stomatal aperture.
2.Stomata receives CO2 from atmosphere which is an important ingredient for photosynthesis to take place.
3.Photosyntheis is the process of synthesizing or producing food in the form of glucose that takes place in chloroplast of leaves,in presence of Sunlight, CO2, H2O and chlorophyll (the pigment which absorbs light for photosynthesis).
4.The carbon in the glucose formed during photosynthesis, comes from CO2 taken by the plant through stomata.
5.Therefore if stomatal pores will be covered, then there will be decline in the process of photosynthesis and ultimately the plant will die due to absence of nutrients.
