I think you have misunderstood something. If a leaf is under water, it will still photosynthesise and produce oxygen as long as there is sufficient light. If there is no light it will just respire, consuming oxygen, whether or not it is in water.

How does a leaf remove oxygen?

A leaf does not remove oxygen; rather, it produces oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to create oxygen and glucose, which is a form of stored energy.


What are the hairs on the leaf of the water fern for?

The submerged leaf filaments are covered with brown hairs which function as roots for water and nutrients absorption. Sporocarps(i) are borne on submerged leaf filaments.


Will photosynthesis occur in submerged leaf or plant?

So long as the plant or leaf is able to absorb sunlight through the water - yes.


How do Lily's breath?

Using their stomata normally located under the leaf, but since the bottom of the lily pad's leaf is submerged in water, the stomata are on the top of the leaf.


How does the lily and the lily breathe?

Using their stomata normally located under the leaf, but since the bottom of the lily pad's leaf is submerged in water, the stomata are on the top of the leaf.


What substances pass through a leafs stomata?

Water vapor, oxygen, and carbon dioxide pass through a leaf's stomata. Water vapor exits the leaf during transpiration, while carbon dioxide enters the leaf for photosynthesis. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and is released from the leaf.


Why does ranunculus aquatilis show leaf dimorphism?

it shows leaf dimorphism when submerged in water in order to increase the surface area to absorb more and more oxygen for the process of photosynthesis and make food and other important materials


What does stoma allow to enter the leaf?

Stomata allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaf for photosynthesis, while also allowing oxygen and water vapor to exit the leaf through transpiration.


What is the scientific name of floating leaf plants?

The scientific name for floating leaf plants is Hydrophytes. These plants have adaptations that allow them to float on water and absorb nutrients through their roots submerged in water.


How can you tell if a leaf is realeasing water or oxygen?

You can't visibly see if a leaf is releasing water or oxygen. However, during photosynthesis, plants release oxygen and transpire water vapor through tiny openings called stomata on their leaves.


How do carbon dioxide oxygen and water pass into and out of a leaf?

Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through small openings called stomata. Inside the leaf, carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis to produce oxygen and glucose. Oxygen and excess water exit the leaf through the stomata as byproducts of photosynthesis and transpiration, respectively.


Why do submerged plants have narrow thin leaves?

Submerged plants have narrow, thin leaves to minimize drag from water flow, maximize light absorption, and facilitate nutrient uptake. This leaf shape reduces resistance to the flow of water, allowing them to efficiently extract nutrients and oxygen from the water column. Additionally, thin leaves increase surface area for photosynthesis in low-light underwater environments.
