    TRUE OR FALSE: Plants and animals in an ecosystem depend on each other to survive.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Plants and animals in an ecosystem depend on each other to survive because they have a symbiotic relationship. Plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which is essential for animals to breathe. Animals, on the other hand, provide carbon dioxide and nutrients through their waste, which are necessary for plant growth. Additionally, animals rely on plants as a food source, while plants benefit from animals' pollination and seed dispersal. This interdependence ensures the balance and sustainability of the ecosystem.
