Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

Flora and fauna are vital parts of our planet. Both are essential for a healthy environment.

Plants provide food and oxygen for animals and humans. Trees produce oxygen through a process called photosynthesis. Moreover, they help maintain ecological balance by cleaning the air and water. They also create beautiful landforms like grasslands and forests, which cover about 30% of Earth’s surface. 

Animals also have important roles. They help control pests by eating insects and other small animals. For example, bats can eat up to 1,000 insects in an hour. Animals are part of the food chain, which keeps the environment balanced.

Different places have different types of flora and fauna. Rainforests have many kinds of trees, colorful flowers, and unique animals like jaguars and toucans. In deserts, plants like cacti can survive with little water. Animals such as camels and lizards are also adapted to the dry environment.

Climate change and pollution are threats to both flora and fauna. Pesticides and fertilizers can harm plants and animals. To protect them, we should reduce pollution, avoid using harmful chemicals, and preserve their habitats. Observing and appreciating the beauty of nature can remind us why it is important to take care of our environment.
