∙ 15y agoIt is frozen (compressed) into a liquid state- it's contained using fractional distillation of liquid air
I didn't know oxygen came from a state. Did it originate in Oregon or Mississippi?

∙ 8y agoAnimals obtain oxygen from air by breathing air into their lungs where it is attached to hemoglobin molecules in a chemical reaction.
Industrial facilities obtain oxygen from air by cooling the air to very low temperatures so that eventually the oxygen condenses to a liquid and falls out like rain.

∙ 10y agoIn photosynthesis CO2 and H2O are taken up by chlorophyll and broken apart, using sunlight as an energy source, into carbon and oxygen. The carbon is absorbed by the plant as sugar to help it grow, while the oxygen is released.
6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (sunlight) --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
In the equation above, six atoms of carbon dioxide plus six atoms of water yields a single sugar and six diatomic molecules of "free" oxygen.
Most of earth's oxygen is not produced by trees and grass but by cyanobacteria, the "blue green" algae in the oceans.

∙ 15y agoOxygen is separated from air in huge industrial air separation plants, the plants compress the air, rapidly decompress it then compress it again, this process is repeated over and over again, this reduces the air temperature so much that it eventually turns to a liquid, in liquid form the different gasses (mostly nitrogen, oxygen and argon) separate out at different temperatures, enabling the plant to draw off the liquid oxygen (known as LOX) into giant insulated 'cryogenic' tanks, LOX is extremely cold (-183c), it can be used in industrial, medical and scientific processes as a liquid or carefully allowed to warm up and returned to a gas, its then stored in compressed gas cylinders and has a huge range of uses.

What gas is needed by animals to breathe in?
Animals need AIR to breath in - AIR is made up of about 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen. The animals use the Oxygen in the AIR.NOTE if an animal were to breath 100% Oxygen this would eventually kill it, Pure Oxygen is toxic.They need to breath AIR.
What structures help birds get enough oxygen to fly?
air sacs
How do dogs obtain oxygen?
Dogs obtain oxygen by inhaling it through the air and traveling to their lungs. From their it goes to the bloodstream.
What are the three ways animals get oxygen?
Breathing air through lungs Breathing Oxygen in water via gills Absorbing oxygen through the skin (mainly amphibians)
How does oxygen get into water for fish to breathe?
Oxygen partially dissolves in water. Respiratory systems of aquatic animals are adapted to get this dissolved oxygen. They have gills for respiration.
Where is oxygen obtained in mammals?
All mammals obtain their oxygen from the air.
How to Separate oxygen from liquefied air?
by fractional distillation of liquefied air oxygen is obtained due to it's boiling point
Where is oxygen obtained from?
"Oxygen is obtained for industrial use by the fractional distillation of liquid air, by the electrolysis of water, or by heating manganese oxide with potassium chlorate.
What gas is obtained by fractional distillation?
Most of the gases in air, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon and others are obtained by fractional distillation of liquid air.
Where does the oxygen produced in the dark reaction of photosynthesis come from?
It is obtained from air. Oxygen is not is not produced in dark reaction but in light reaction
What do you get when you mix nitrogen and oxygen?
A mixture is obtained; 80 % N and 20 % O is air.
What does cellular respiration realease into the air?
Cellular respiration releases CO2 into the air.
Where is oxygen and where is it obtained?
Oxygen is found as a free molecule in the air and as a component of many organic and inorganic compounds in the earth's crust. For commercial purposes, it is usually obtained by using extreme cold to condense it from the atmosphere.

What is the manufacturer of xenon?
It is usually obtained as a by-product in the production of oxygen and nitrogen through fractional distillation of air.
Where is the oxygen obtained by mammals?
Mammals take in oxygen from the air they breathe. High concentrations of oxygen in the lungs replenish the oxygen-poor red blood cells that pass through. The cells then carry the oxygen through the body.
How do you get oxygen?
Oxygen is obtained from the atmosphere by a process called Respiration, this involves inhaling air and filling small air sacs in the lung, at which point the oxgen passes into the bloodstream through a process called Diffusion.
