them from transpiring. The scientist then measures the rate of photosynthesis and growth of the plants compared to a control group of plants with no petroleum jelly on their leaves. The results show that the plants with petroleum jelly on their leaves have a decreased rate of transpiration, leading to a decrease in photosynthesis and growth. This experiment demonstrates the importance of transpiration in plant growth and the role of the leaf surface in this process.
