Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Yes, it is true. When the stomata of plant leaves are blocked by petroleum jelly, the plant will not be able to properly exchange gases with the surrounding environment, including taking in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This can lead to a lack of oxygen and a buildup of toxic gases, ultimately causing the plant to wither and die.
