 LIVING THING NEED AIR

The earth is surrounded by air, a mixture of extremely

important gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
nitrogen. These gases provide animals with oxygen for
respiration to occur. It also provides green plants with
carbon dioxide for photosynthesis to happen.It is vital that
living things respire to get oxygen for living cells to
function. Without air, there is no life.
 PLANTS

Plants use Carbon Dioxide (together with sunlight and water) to produce
energy and give out oxygen as a by-product. This oxygen is what almost
all animals need to survive. They absorb Carbon Dioxide from the air and
discharge Oxygen through very tiny pores in the leaves.

Air is also important for living organisms in the soil to survive and
function. Without soil aeration, decomposers cannot work on organic
matter to decompose them, as soil moisture alone is not enough for
decomposition. Moving air (wind) is also important for some plants to
pollinate.
 ANIMALS

Animals including humans need oxygen to live. We

breathe in oxygen and breathe out Carbon Dioxide. There
are also air pockets in soils and water that help tiny living
things survive in water and beneath the soils. For example,
fishes absorb Oxygen from the water with their gills. All
animals are adapted with special organs and parts that help
them absorb the oxygen they need from the air.
