👉 Oxygen math, often referred to as the oxygen cycle or biogeochemical cycle of oxygen, is a complex system describing how oxygen moves through Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. It involves various processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and oceanic and terrestrial exchanges. Photosynthesis by plants and algae converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Conversely, respiration by organisms (including humans) and decomposition of organic matter consumes oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. The balance between these processes maintains atmospheric oxygen levels, crucial for life on Earth. This cycle is interconnected with other cycles like carbon and nitrogen, ensuring the continuous availability of oxygen for aerobic life forms.
