Answers
Answer:
Plants and trees don’t just beautify our surroundings but are also an essential element of our environment. We already know that they take in the carbon dioxide breathed out by animals and released by various human activities and give out oxygen thus maintaining a balance in atmospheric gasses. All the green plants perform the process of photosynthesis for which they require carbon dioxide. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are released by miscellaneous human activities like breathing, burning of fossil fuels, transportation, industrial manufacturing plants, and deforestation. But carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and high concentration of it in our environment can be very dangerous. Here plants be at our service and help in reducing the level of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But if there won’t be enough plants on the planet then not only the pollution will increase alarmingly, but other serious issues like global warming, ozone layer depletion, etc. will also become more threatening.
The oxygen required by the humans and animal to breathe is given out by plants as it is a by-product of photosynthesis. However during the night, plants “breathe” in oxygen and “breathe” out carbon dioxide. This is the reason it is advised not to sit near the plants at night.
Besides completing the gaseous cycles in our atmosphere plants also perform some other essential roles in our ecosystem. Plants usually form the base of the food chain. By the process of photosynthesis they use up the energy from the sun to produce energy unit- Adenosine Tri-Phosphate (ATP). 10% of this energy is transferred to the herbivores and omnivores when they feed on the plants. The herbivores are then eaten by both carnivores and omnivores completing the food chain. Thus, directly or indirectly plants provide all the food to the living organisms existing on our planet. Even after a plant dies its importance doesn’t end as they help in making the soil more fertile thus supporting further plant growth over that area.
Other than food, products like gums, resins, wood, medicines, etc. are also obtained from plants. Wood, as we can see, is the most important raw material used in making furniture, building houses and also for making paper. A significant part of the medicinal industry, specifically Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy depends upon plants for its medicines and natural treatments. In fact, studies suggest that one-quarter of all the prescription drugs are made either directly from plants or their derivatives. Items like perfumed oils and natural dyes are also extracted from parts of the plants and trees, and they are extensively used by human beings.
