Aristotle theorized about the photosyntesis
(it was in my grade 7 ecology class and now iam 23 iam not pretty sure about the answer)
Photosynthesis produces organic compounds by converting the energy in light to to make compounds like glucose by using CO2 and water. Oxygen is expelled as a waste product of that reaction. Cellular respiration uses organic compounds like glucose and it uses O2. CO2 and water are released. The CO2 is the waste produce of cellular respiration that is used in photosynthesis. The energy that came from light is used in respiration.
Bubbles in plants, often seen in aquatic species, originate from the release of gases during photosynthesis. When plants absorb carbon dioxide and water, they convert these into glucose and oxygen, with oxygen being released as a byproduct. Under certain conditions, this oxygen can accumulate and form visible bubbles, particularly in water environments. Additionally, bubbles can also form from trapped air in the plant tissues or during the process of transpiration.
Actually the O2 comes from the water. One way to observe this is to use an isotope of oxygen like O18 and replace the O in the CO2 with the O18 and if the oxygen that is made is oxygen 18 then it is clear that it arose from the CO2. Once could then do the same thing with H2O. Another less ambiguous observation is that of thermophiles near the vents of ocean floors. Their is an abundance of H2S near these vents and the result reaction is the thermophiles producing glucose and Sulfur gas. Sulfur and Oxygen have the same valence electrons and will react the same way in order to get the electrons they need to be stable. It is safe to say that the O came from the H2O in the same way that the S comes from the H2S
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight (light energy) to drive a chemical reaction that eventually results in a carbohydrate and some oxygen. Let's look at the term "photosynthesis." The first section, "photo," is the English form of a Greek word meaning light, "phos." "Synthesis" is the creation or generation of a product; in this case, a carbohydrate and oxygen. So, the word photosynthesis means "using light to make something."
The raw materials plants need to build sugar molecules are carbon dioxide, water, and light. The carbon dioxide came from the air, the water came through the xylem tubes from the roots, and the light came from the sunlight. Hope I helped a little!! =D
Life came first. The oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is a product of living organisms carrying out photosynthesis.
Most of Earth's atmospheric oxygen originally came from photosynthesis by early cyanobacteria and other photosynthetic organisms around 2.5 billion years ago. These organisms converted carbon dioxide and water into oxygen through the process of photosynthesis, gradually increasing oxygen levels in the atmosphere.
It is unsure were the first oxygen molecule came from came from, but my bet was that it was from the process "Outgassing" in which Water, Carbon Dioxide, and other fluids, were spewed out of volcanoes. The Carbon Dioxide was used by Cyanobacteria, or Stromatolites(sp?),in photosynthesis, thus producing oxygen.
"One of the first clues to the mechanism of photosynthesis came from the discovery that the oxygen given off by plants through their stomata is derived from water and not from carbon dioxide." (Biology, Seventh Edition; Campbell, Reece. Chapter 10: Photosynthesis, page 184) It comes from the water
It came from primitive organisms early in earth's history. They were the first organisms to use photosynthesis to make food, by using light to convert Carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. Since oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis, it was released into the air. As more and more of these organisms multiplied, large amounts of oxygen were released into the air, forming today's atmosphere.
Oxygen is produced through a process called photosynthesis, which occurs in green plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. During photosynthesis, these organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process is essential for sustaining life on Earth.
Oxygen on Earth originally came from the process of photosynthesis carried out by early single-celled organisms like cyanobacteria. These organisms used sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Over millions of years, this process accumulated oxygen in the atmosphere, leading to the oxygen-rich environment we have today.

photosynthesis is all i came up with so yeah! photosynthesis is all i came up with so yeah!

Oxygen in the atmosphere primarily comes from photosynthesis by plants and other photosynthetic organisms. These organisms use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen as a byproduct. Over millions of years, this process has led to the accumulation of oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere.
Oxygen accumulation in the atmosphere came before Eukaryotes. Around 2.4 billion years ago, photosynthetic bacteria began to produce oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, leading to the Great Oxidation Event. Eukaryotes, which possess specialized organelles like mitochondria that utilize oxygen for energy production, evolved around 2 billion years ago.
