How do plants contribute to the food chain?

Plants are primary producers, meaning they convert sunlight into energy, which is then consumed by herbivores and, subsequently, carnivores.

What role do plants play in climate regulation?

Plants help regulate the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, which mitigates climate change.

Can you explain the importance of plants in urban areas?

In urban areas, plants improve air quality, provide shade, reduce heat, and enhance the aesthetic value of the environment.

What would happen if all plants disappeared?

If all plants disappeared, ecosystems would collapse, leading to a loss of oxygen, food sources, and biodiversity.
