No on the contrary it converts oxygen imto carbon dioxide, making it poisonous.

What gas in our atmosphere promotes combustion?
Oxygen
Can oxygen can enter the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
Yes oxygen enters the air during photosynthesis after the plant has produced sugar it releases oxygen
What kind of reaction is 2C2H6 7O2g 4CO2 6H2O?
Combustion. It fits this pattern: fuel + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water. It also releases heat.
What are the two results from the process of photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and releases oxygen.
Has the amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere increased in recent years?
The amount of oxygen released into the atmosphere has not noticeably increased in recent years. The amount of oxygen (O2) in the atmosphere is about 21%. It is part of the earth's oxygen cycle, the main driver of which is photosynthesis. Vegetation removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, releases the oxygen (O2) and stores the carbon (C).
Does combustion release oxygen into the atmosphere?
no it burns the oxygen and releases co2 (carbondioxide) among other pollutants
What is the name of the pollutant caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon or fossil fuel. Adding oxygenates (molecules containing oxygen) to the fuel and maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio can reduce the amount of carbon monoxide generated.
What process releases carbon into the atmosphere from fossil fuels?
Combustion. Fossil fuels contain carbon, hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and some other elements. But the largest is Carbon. So when such fuels burn they combine with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in air to form Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides etc. Any form of carbon when burns produces carbon dioxide.
What gas in our atmosphere promotes combustion?
Oxygen
Is nitrogen oxide a fossil fuel?
No. Most nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere are a product of combustion of some fossil fuel in air, when the heat of combustion is sufficient to activate reactions between atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen, but the oxides are not present in the fuel itself.
Which element is required for the combustion of fossil fuels?
Hydrogen
What biological processes releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis.
How is the burning of cleared land contributing to greenhouse gas emissions?
Combustion releases carbon dioxide as the carbon in the organic material is joined with oxygen from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is understood to be a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere.
Which process releases most of the oxygen you have in your atmosphere?
Photosynthesisplants: photosynthesis
What life process put oxygen into the atmosphere?
plants do it by photosynthesis. And animals do it by respiration
When fossil fuels burn what are the reactants?
The burning of fossil fuels are a combustion reaction. The reaction for the combustion has the reactants of propane (C3H8) and oxygen (O2). The combustion reactions products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Where in atmosphere does meteoroids burn?
"where the oxygen level increases then combustion takes place"
