is this correct?

Question

a fresh water plant will be killed by the oil because the oil lack Co2 permitting it from getting any oxygen

can someone plz give me a good answer i have a presentation 2morrow and i wanted to know if i did it correct

Answer 1

Plants have little pores in their leaves to absorb Co2 and release O2. The photosynthesis process that the other answerers talk about takes water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and manufacture sugars and various starches (typically compounds with about 6 Carbon, 6 Oxygen and 12 Hydrogren atoms) If you throw all that into chemical equations, you'll get extra oxygen, which is released as O2 molecules through pores in the leaves. It takes energy to do all this which comes from the sun.
Oil messes up all of this by clogging the pores in the leaf and blocking the sunlight.

Answer 2

The fresh water plant deals with oil on a regular bases . I don't under stand where the CO2 has come from. The plants use skimming tanks where the water is not taken from the top of the water.

Answer 3

.Only thing I can think of is that the oil will coat the leaves clogging the pores and stopping light getting through to the chlorophyll; which the plant uses to convert CO2 to energy. Without energy the plant will die.

Answer 4

oil coats the surface of the leaves of plants and that basically suffocates the plants by not letting them absorb CO2 from the air which they combine wiht water and sunlight to produce their food in the process called photosynthesis.
