A scientist performs an experiment by placing petroleum jelly on under side of plant leaves. This blocks the leaves’ stomata. The plant continues to be watered and is located in a sunny spot. What will the scientist observe?(1 point)
The scientist will observe that the plant's leaves will not be able to release water vapor through transpiration, as the stomata are blocked by the petroleum jelly. This may result in reduced growth or wilting of the plant, as it will be unable to regulate its water balance effectively.
