@sqbsbear I see what youre saying. Got it confused haha

[sqbsbear]

@smoshlovingdragon you might be able to see the water move inside the veins but not oxygen, if you're talking about that line that moves across the leaf to join the water bubble in this video (occurs about 3 times), that's just a film of water ontop of the leaf...

[smoshlovingdragon]

@sqbsbear yeah you can

[sqbsbear]

@lockdown494 no.... no you can't lol.

Problably not. Leaves have open pores called stomata that ables carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to leave. If you ever tie a plastic bag around a large leaf, th enext day you'll notice that the bag has some water in it.
