Yes, mango trees give off oxygen.
Mango trees, like all other plants that perform photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a byproduct. This process is crucial for maintaining the balance of gases in the Earth's atmosphere and supporting life. While they do consume some oxygen during respiration, the net effect of mango trees (and all photosynthetic plants) is oxygen production.
Here's a breakdown:
- Photosynthesis: Mango trees use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) for energy. Oxygen is released as a waste product of this process.
- Respiration: Like all living things, mango trees also respire, consuming oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. However, the amount of oxygen produced through photosynthesis far outweighs the amount consumed during respiration.
The reference document confirms this by stating the mango tree is "producing oxygen". This is a fundamental aspect of plant biology and is essential for the environment.
