Question

Oxygen is used in few abiotic processes. Name any two of them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxygen is an important abiotic factor for most living organisms. Two abiotic processes are photosynthesis, respiration and decomposition.

Explanation:

• Oxygen is an important abiotic factor for most living organisms. Oxygen is used by cells as an energy source.
• Abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment that affect ecosystems.
• The abiotic process that uses oxygen is:
• Plants create the majority of the oxygen we breathe through photosynthesis.
• In this process, plants use carbon dioxide, sunlight & water to create energy.
• In the process, they also create oxygen which they release into the air.
• Respiration is the process when animals breathe in oxygen and use it to produce energy, releasing carbon dioxide and water.
• Decomposition reactions include the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen and the breakdown of water to hydrogen and oxygen.
