Question

What will happen to the rate of photosynthesis in a plant under the following circumstance?
Gathering of dust on the leaves.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants prepare their own food with the help of oxygen, carbon dioxide, sunlight, water etc. Gaseous exchange of photosynthesis takes place through the stomata. So, the rate of photosynthesis decreases if the stomata get blocked due to dust.
