Rain forest plants all work together to provide food and shelter for rain forest animals, as well as to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. Ground-level competition for light and food has resulted in some unusual plant evolution.
Answer:
The given statement is false.
Tropical rainforests are located near the equator and receive precipitation generally in the form of rain. These forests receive a large amount of precipitation throughout the year which can range from 80 inches to 400 inches in a year.
Temperate rainforests are located on higher altitudes as compared to the tropical rainforests. They receive precipitation in the form of rain and snow. They receive less amount of rain as compared to tropical rainforests. They receive precipitation which lies between 40 inches and 60 inches in a year.
Thus the amount and type of precipitation in tropical and temperate rainforests are different.
Cellular respiration uses oxygen to release the energy stored in food.
Explanation:
In breathing living organisms take oxygen and release the carbon dioxide it is similar to the aerobic respiration.
There are two types of respiration:
1. Aerobic respiration
2. Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.
Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP
Anaerobic Respiration
It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.
Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide!
