Answer:

Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms, being taken up by animals, which convert it to carbon dioxide; plants, in turn, utilize carbon dioxide as a source of carbon and return the oxygen to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

  • Oxygen is a non-metal element that is a gas at room temperature. Its molecules contain two oxygen atoms.
  • Oxygen is vital for respiration, which is the process that transfers energy from glucose to cells.
  • Oxygen is necessary for burning to occur. However, burning will only happen when the mixture of fuel and oxygen is hot enough.
