If a leaf of a plant is coated with wax, then the processes of the plant leaf will stop.
- The coat of wax would cover up all the small openings that the leaf has for exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
- Lack of carbon dioxide would stop it from making food for the plant by affecting the photosynthesis and also the transpiration of water that happens to the small opening food stop.
- Therefore, the movement of water from roots to the leaves of the plant would stop.
- If this coat of wax remains for a longer period of time the plant may die due to lack of food.
