OXYGEN CYCLE

All of the reactions that drive the oxygen cycle occur

between any two different reservoirs of oxygen.
However, two chief reactions account for most of the
activity in the use and regeneration of oxygen on

2
Earth; these are cellular respiration and
photosynthesis, both of which occur between the
atmospheric reservoir and the biosphere reservoir
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
- Photosynthesis
involves combining
atmospheric carbon dioxide
with water to generate
carbohydrate sources and
oxygen gas.
P
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration
is the process by
which an organism
consuming food
R
generates energy to
sustain life.
 CONCLUSION
- The Oxygen Cycle has a close
connection with many other geological
and biological cycles, such as the
Carbon Cycle and Hydrological Cycle.
Other smaller cycling systems, such as
nitrogen and sulfur cycles, require
atmospheric oxygen, living organisms,
or the soil to provide their critical
nutrients to take up and bind them to
usable substrates.
