Plant are living organism that helps in the survival of man and other living organism ,they also help in the growth of animal ,source of shelter , to man.we are going to look into the five importants of plant listed above.
MAN SURVIVAL
PLANTS are also living things that depend on air for survival. They breathe in carbon di oxide and breathe out oxygen which is used by man for survival through a process called respiration[gaseous exchange]without plants in the aspects of respiration man has no life. plants produce the oxygen which we breathe and remove large amount of carbon di oxide given out all organisms .PLANTS also converts the energy of the sun into forms which we require to live. GROWTH OF MAN AND ANIMAL
PLANTS serves as a source of food to man and also to animal .Man feeds on different kind of plants ,like tuber crops ,legumes, cereals, grains ,e.t. c .while animals have different kind of feeding which are the carnivorous ,herbivorous, omnivorous ,the major one that depend on plant are the herbivorous ;these are animal that depends on plant for survival ,they mainly feed on plants examples are goats ,rams ,cow e .t .c. while the rest either feed on already made foods for example [hen, pig ,cats ]e.t. c. Or they feed on other animals for example [lion ,tiger ,hare ,zebra e .t. c.]through taking in of the produce of plants man and animal grow effectively.
