Answer 2

Answer:

No, the plant will not remain healthy because vaseline would form a layer on the leaves and would affect the plant in the following ways :

• It would block the stomata and as a result, no gaseous exchange and transpiration would take place .
• There would be no upward movement of water and minerals as there would be no transpiration. It would further affect the process of photosynthesis. Hence, plant will not remain healthy and would die eventually .
