Answer:

Gaseous exchange between leaves and atmosphere would be disturbed due to blocked stomata.

Explanation:

Leaves have stomata on their surfaces. Through stomata, plants take the oxygen in for respiration. Carbon dioxide gas is also released into the atmosphere through stomata. Similarly, plants take the atmospheric CO2 through stomata to perform the process of photosynthesis. The molecular oxygen produced as a by-product during photosynthesis is also released through stomata.

Coating both sides of leaves with petroleum jelly or wax would block stomata. Leaves of the plant with coating would not be able to perform breathing and photosynthesis.

Substances which will glow in the dark after being exposed to sunlight are called :
mezya [45]

Answer:

D. / 4 - Phosphorescents

Explanation:

Phosphorescence occurs when light is absorved by a material, and when the material is in the dark we can see how radiation is emitted from the object, in the form of light. Phosphorescent materials are called phosphorescents.

Facts/notes:

  • This does not occur immediately
  • It occurs from a longer time than fluorescence (because electrons take longer to slow down their movement)
  • It is a photoluminescence
  • Remember that bioluminescence is not strictly related to phosphorescence. It's a type chemiluminescence.
  • For a more detalied understaning you should read about excitation, types of excitation and how this causes/affects phosphorescence.

Hope it helped,
