Assertion is false and reason is true. |
The correct answer is Option (3)- Assertion is false and reason is true. Amazon forest is estimated to produce 30 percent of the total oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere. This is incorrect The fast-dwindling Amazon forest is estimated to produce, through photosynthesis, 20 percent of the total oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere. "Amazon forest produces oxygen through photosynthesis." This statement is true. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, including those in the Amazon rainforest, produce oxygen as a byproduct by utilizing carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. While the Amazon rainforest indeed contributes significantly to the world's oxygen production through photosynthesis, the specific percentage (20%) attributed to its oxygen contribution is debated among scientists. It's important to note that the Earth's total oxygen production comes from various sources, including oceans, forests, and other photosynthetic organisms, not solely from the Amazon rainforest. |
