Oxygen can take part in a variety of reactions, such as combustion (burning), oxidation reactions, and reactions in biological processes like respiration. It is a highly reactive element that readily participates in chemical reactions.
The reactions that produce molecular oxygen (O2) take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, specifically in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts. Here, water molecules are split through a process called photolysis, releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
Nitrogen is considered a diluent in air because it makes up about 78% of the atmosphere but does not take part in the chemical reactions that occur during respiration. It acts to dilute the oxygen in the air, making it more breathable and reducing the risk of oxygen toxicity.
The process of obtaining oxygen from the air we breathe is known as respiration. During respiration, the lungs take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the bloodstream, where it is then transported to the body's cells to produce energy through a series of chemical reactions.
Oxygen is the gas needed by cells in the body for cellular respiration to produce energy. Cells take in oxygen from the bloodstream and use it to generate ATP, the energy currency of the cell, through a series of chemical reactions.
Most chemical reactions take place in the cytoplasm.

Hydrogen and oxygen combine explosively in a single reaction.

N2, nitrogen is about 78% in air but does not take part in several reactions as oxygen does so we can say that after noble gases Nitrogen is the least reactive gas or element.
To take CO2 from the air and turn it into oxygen that we can breathe. Their are light dependent and independent reactions.

No, plants do not absorb oxygen as part of photosynthesis. Instead, they take in carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct.
The lungs take in oxygen directly from the air.
Dark reactions take place in the stroma of the plant cell.
