No, animals do not take up most of the oxygen on Earth. The majority of Earth's oxygen comes from photosynthesis by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. These organisms release oxygen into the atmosphere as a byproduct of their metabolic processes.
The oxygen that plants make is taken up by humans. The humans take the oxygen and transform it into carbon dioxide. When the humans do this then the plants take it and change it back into oxygen. This is a never-ending cycle, without plants, humans and animals would die out, without humans and animals, plants would die out.
Nitrogen and Oxygen are the most common gases in the atmosphere.
For one, oxygen and hydrogen mostly make up organic compounds (the one element you need for an organic compound NO MATTER WHAT, would be carbon). Organic compounds make up every living thing on earth, from tigers to cyanobacteria to mushrooms. That's why H and O are so common in animals. Now for the earth. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, for one. We also need oxygen to breathe and live. Cyanobacteria were the first organisms to produce oxygen, little interesting fact there. Hope this helps!
Yes, oxygen has three naturally occurring isotopes: oxygen-16, oxygen-17, and oxygen-18. Oxygen-16 is the most abundant, making up about 99.76% of naturally occurring oxygen.
The two most common elements found in the Earth's continental crust are oxygen and silicon. Oxygen is the most abundant element, making up about 46.6% of the Earth's crust by weight, while silicon is the second most abundant, making up about 27.7%.
Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).
Not really, plants absorb the carbon from their surroundings and herbivores eat the plants and take up the oxygen. Then carnivorous animals eat the herbivores and in turn they also take up carbon.
oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.
if all the animals were gone there would be no carbon dioxide for plants and trees to take in and no oxygen would be produced.
1. Oxygen's Atomic Symbol is O2. Oxygen is colorless, tasteless & odorless3. Most of your body is made up of oxygen.4. You need Oxygen to live.5. Most animals & plants need oxygen for respiration6. Oxygen is a nonmetal7. Oxygen (O) is used in many medicines8. YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!! =)

Plants make oxygen and animals use oxygen. Over a couple of billions years, this system has stabilized so that oxygen makes up not quite 1/4 of the air you breath. By far, the most oxygen-producing plants live in the oceans, and include algae, seaweed (See 'Sargasso Sea'), and other similar plants.
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.
Oxygen makes up about 21% of Earth's atmosphere.
you stick a thermometer up the animals but. Its true
Not only animals respire even plants respire. In respiration they take up oxygen. This O2 is used for oxidation of food which results in release of energy.
45well there is an exact answer so i would say most of it because the air is full of oxgen and there is lots of trees
