Humans, trees have vital relationship:
As humans, we breathe in air, which contains oxygen. Oxygen is essential for us and all other animals to survive. Once we breathe in oxygen, our body uses it, along with sugar that we get through eating, to produce energy, which then allows us to be active. This process is known as respiration. During respiration, both energy and a gas known as carbon dioxide are produced. When we breathe out, the carbon dioxide that is produced is released into the air.
Plants such as trees, on the other hand, can take in this carbon dioxide, which is unusable for humans, and use it to produce their own energy. Plants are known as producers, which simply means that they produce their own energy without the need for eating.
In a way, they are a cycle — plants help humans breathe by providing us with oxygen, and humans help plants “breathe” by providing them with carbon dioxide.
In addition to this, humans take in the sugars that are produced through photosynthesis when we eat plants such as fruits and vegetables, which allows us to use the sugars through respiration. This is why animals are known as consumers; because we are required to eat in order to be able to use energy.
As you can see, trees play a big part in our lives. Next time you take in a big breath of air, be sure to thank the trees around you!
There is continuous relationship between all animals, human being and trees. Trees and living beings nurturing each others life.
So learning from Tree: Sharing.
