It 'expires.' The leaf becomes brown and dry within a weak thin layer called the 'terhomos.' This is the part of the leaf collects sun energy. As the leaf is in the plastic bag, the sun energy will not be able to be received by the leaf.

What happens to the air around a leaf covered in a plastic bag?

When a leaf is covered in a plastic bag, the air trapped within the bag becomes enriched with carbon dioxide as the leaf undergoes photosynthesis. This increased carbon dioxide concentration can enhance the rate of photosynthesis, but if the bag is left on for too long, the lack of oxygen could eventually lead to the leaf's death.

Would co2 be reduced if the leaf is covered with a plastic bag?

Covering a leaf with a plastic bag would prevent the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen with the atmosphere, limiting the leaf's ability to photosynthesize and reduce carbon dioxide. However, extended lack of gas exchange could harm the leaf's health and eventually lead to a decrease in photosynthetic activity.
