Explanation:
a ) For a tree to be killed, the root has to be uprooted, and it has to be scorched and choked in sun and air. This process takes much time and it requires a lot of effort. ... The tree grows to its full size by consuming nutrients from the earth, feeding upon its crust absorbing years of light, air and water.
b ) Through a process called photosynthesis, leaves pull in carbon dioxide and water and use the energy of the sun to convert this into chemical compounds such as sugars that feed the tree. But as a by-product of that chemical reaction oxygen is produced and released by the tree.
c ) In one year a mature tree will absorb more than 48 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen in exchange.
d ) leprosy is a disease which makes the victims skin full of white patches and discoloured.hide means skin which(here) stands for tree'bark so,leprous hide stands for tree's discoloured bark.
