Plants, especially through the process of photosynthesis, release oxygen into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis involves the absorption of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen as a byproduct. Additionally, certain types of algae and cyanobacteria contribute to oxygen production through photosynthesis in aquatic environments.

Which process releases most of the oxygen you have in your atmosphere?
Photosynthesisplants: photosynthesis
What is the oxygen content of the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is 79.9% oxygen.
Will there be oxygen in space if you plant a tree there?
Interesting question. The Oxygen must come from somewhere. On Earth a plant gets oxygen from 2 sources. Water and/or the atmosphere. It does not just make it up, simply transforms it from one form to another. A plant takes in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and releases the Oxygen (O2) into the atmosphere. If there were some form of atmosphere/light/water to sustain the plants life then they will automatically produce a more oxygen rich atmosphere. As for the moon: It doesn't really have enough gravitational pull to sustain an atmosphere like that. Maybe Mars where the Atmosphere is 95% Carbon Dioxide and quite possibly large frozen lakes of ice.
Why doesnt the moon have oxygen?
The moon has no oxygen because it has no atmosphere.
Do trees provide the most oxygen for the atmosphere?
Yes, trees do provide most of our oxygen for the atmosphere
What biological processes releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis.
Which process releases most of the oxygen you have in your atmosphere?
Photosynthesisplants: photosynthesis
Does combustion release oxygen into the atmosphere?
no it burns the oxygen and releases co2 (carbondioxide) among other pollutants
Why is it good to cut down trees?
it re releases the oxygen back into the atmosphere if it is burnt
why is it good cutting down trees?
it re releases the oxygen back into the atmosphere if it is burnt
Can oxygen can enter the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
Yes oxygen enters the air during photosynthesis after the plant has produced sugar it releases oxygen
Does The combustion of fossil fuels releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
No on the contrary it converts oxygen imto carbon dioxide, making it poisonous.
What does respiration remove from the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is being released. As you breathe in you inhale fresh oxygen, but as you breathe out your body releases carbon dioxide.
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).
What process provides most of the oxygen found in earths atmosphere?
Growing more trees as trees take in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen that we use for breathing. So. I guess Afforestation provides most of the oxygen found in the earths atmosphere.
Process that releases oxygen into the atmosphere is?
The photosynthetic pathway releases oxygen into the environment. Oxygen is one of several products of photosynthesis. This is the reason why plants and trees are so important in maintaining the balance of a tropical ecosystem
