Leaver of a healthy potted plant were coated with vaseline to block the stomata will this plang remain healthy for long ? state three reaons f

Answer 1

NO

1. This is because the plant will no longer be able to absorb carbodioxide from the atmosphere.

2. This is because after photosynthesis, plants releases oxygen into the atmosphere therefore if the stomata is blocked it makes the plants to accumulate excess oxygen which gradually will lead to dying of that plant.

3. This is because the stomata serves as the place were unwanted complex produts of the plant are been disposed for which oxygen is one of them therefore if blocked will shorten the life span of the plant.
