Leaves of healthy potted plants were coated with vaseline to block the stomata will this plant remain healthy for long state two reason for your answer?
· No not at all the plant will die. 1. stomata will be blocked as petroleum jelly will not let the air to pass through and will make the stomata unable to respire. 2. The petroleum jelly absorbs heat and vaseline is a petroleum jelly. this will adversely affect the plant and will harm its leaves and stomata's. 3. The chemical composition of Vaseline contains the residue and compounds of petrol and its product which is very harm full for the plants and these composition can dry up a potted plant if applied on their leaves.
How does petroleum jelly affect a plants growth?
Depends on where and how the jelly is applied. If the entire plant was covered in a thin layer of petroleum jelly transpiration would not be able to occur and the plant would eventually die; the jelly would allow sunlight to pass through so photosynthesis should still be able to take place.
What would happen to a plant if its leaves were covered with a layer of waterproof petroleum jelly?
They would die because the stomata would no longer be able to open to the outside world, and respiration would be impossible
Can plants manufactured food properly if their leaves are covered with petroleum jelly?
No - this would probably kill the plant. First, the jelly would likely refract the light, significantly reducing the amount of energy available for photosynthesis. Second, the jelly would block the stoma through which carbon dioxide is absorbed from the air for use in photosynthesis.
What happens after germination as the plant produces roots and leaves?
plant
What happens as plant grows new leaves?

Can you make lip gloss out of plants?

What happens if a plant is lacking potassium What happens if a plant is lacking phosphates What happens if a plant is lacking nitrates?
Hiya! If a plant is lacking POTASSIUM, it will form yellow leaves and bits of the plat will die. If a plant is lacking phosphates, it will havesmall roots and purple leaves and the stem will be weak. If it is lacking nitrates,it will be really small and haveyellow leaves.
What happens to a plant that doesn't get enough magnesium?

Where is the Cell does Photosynthesis happen?
Photosynthies happens in the leaves of the plant
What happens if leaves of green plant are coated with oil?
The plant will not be able to take in sunlight and the plant will not be able to make food and die.
What function does leaves have on plants?
The primary function of leaves is to make food for the plant. This happens through a process known as photosynthesis.
