Question

leaves of a potted plant were coated with wax to block the stomata. will this plant remain alive and healthy for long? state three reasons for your answer.

Answer 1

Leaves of healthy potted plant were coated with Vaseline to block the stomata then that plant will not remain healthy for long and die rapidly also. as stomata is blocked, there will be no intake of carbon dioxide. vaseline layer prevent the plant from receiving sunlight.

Answer 2

carbon dioxide absorption and oxygen release gets blocked

we know that stomata plays a major role in transpiration also it helps in water absorption  and nutrient translocation

it cannot synthesis food

so plant will rapidly die
