This is more of a statement then a question but in essence the answer is no. Oxygen is the byproduct of a process called photosynthesis where the suns energy is converted into fuel that the tree can use to grow. This energy forms in the cells of the flora and are readily observed as glucose (glucose is basically sugar). Photosythesis also occurs in plants where the suns rays are captured by Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a chemical found in chloroplasts (chloroplasts are a specific subunit within the cell designed to execute one and only job). Oxygen is just a waste product of this awfully fascinating cycle of life on planet Earth Further research can be instigated and a raft of other sources can be used such as Wikipedia (search for PHOTOSYNTHESIS)

Which plants produce the highest amount of oxygen?

The plants that produce the highest amount of oxygen are typically trees, especially large, leafy trees like oak, maple, and beech trees. These trees have a high rate of photosynthesis, which allows them to release more oxygen into the atmosphere.


What would happen to the amount of oxygen in Earth and atmosphere if half the trees on Earth were cut down Why?

Cutting down half of the trees on Earth would reduce the amount of oxygen produced through photosynthesis, potentially leading to a decrease in atmospheric oxygen levels. However, the impact on overall oxygen levels would be mitigated by the fact that trees make up only a portion of the Earth's oxygen-producing plants. Other plants, as well as oceans and other sources, also contribute to the atmospheric oxygen supply.


What would happen if a ten mile of trees got removed from a tropical rain forest will this affect the amount of water and oxygen?

The trees produce oxygen, if trees disappeared, there will be no oxygen, and without oxygen, the water will be free gas, the water will evaporate!


Would you die if all the trees were cut?

Humans would face dire consequences if all trees were cut down, as they provide oxygen, regulate the climate, and provide habitats for numerous species. While individuals may not instantly die from lack of trees, the long-term impact on the environment would greatly affect our ability to survive on Earth.


What gives the earth oxygen?

trees and plants also algae...trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere .....so destroying trees effects the amount of oxygen in the air which then leads to global warming ....

Why we cut trees?

Oxygen! trees and other vegetation are the only things apart from some specific chemical reactions which only produce small amounts of oxygen anyway that can produce oxygen if we cut it all down what are we going to breath in!?

How do trees affect the gases in the atmosphere?

Trees perform photosynthesis and so they PRODUCE OXYGEN. All creatures need oxygen in the air to breathe, so trees make the air breathable.
