What are facts for oxygen?

Oxygen makes up only 21% of the air we breathe, but it is certainly the most important part, since we can't live without it.The Earth's atmosphere initially had very little oxygen; oxygen was added to the atmosphere by living things (anaerobic bacteria at first, plants later).The oxygen that we breathe now is produced by bacteria, algae and plants. It is estimated that 70 to 80% of the oxygen in the atmosphere comes from aquatic plants in the oceans.
