Explain the role of forest in maintaining the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Open in App

Solution

Oxygen is essential for the survival of all animals. This required oxygen is released by plants and trees during the process of photosynthesis.

Further animals and human beings inhale this oxygen and in return exhale carbon dioxide during respiration. This carbon dioxide serves as raw material to the plants for photosynthesis.

Thus, this cycle helps to maintain the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
