Question 44.


Which amongst the following are true about forests?


  1.     Provide oxygen
  2.     Provide habitat to animals
  3.     Source of medicinal plants
  4.     Prevent water pollution
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Provide oxygen
:
A, B, and C
Forest plays an important role in the survival of life on the Earth.
The trees in forest absorb the carbon dioxide gas released by animals and give out oxygen which is required for the existence of life.
They provide a natural habitat to a large number of species. It provides them with food, shelter, oxygen etc. Forests are also a good source of medicinal plants.
Question 45.


Which among the following serves as green lungs?

  3.     Kitchen gardens
  4.     Agricultural lands
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Forests
:
A

A forest is a large area dominated by trees and is known as the 'green lungs'. Since, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen during the day time. Oxygen is required for animal respiration. Thus, in this manner they maintain the balance of these gases in the atmosphere.


Question 46.


Deforestation can lead to extinction of species.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Crow
  4.     Ants
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Deforestation is the clearing of the Earth's forests on a massive scale. Forests provide habitat to a large number of species. On clearing the forests, they lose their habitat and start dying. Thus, many species can go extinct if forests are cleared.

Question 49.


What are the benefits of residing near a forest area?


  1.     Pleasant weather
  2.     Less noise pollution
  3.     Good rainfall
