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.​
