Answer» here is your ans.In SPITE of excessive use of oxygen during respiration and combustion, oxygen in the air does not GET depleted. This is due to a process CALLED PHOTOSYNTHESIS. By this process, plants synthesise food from carbon dioxide and moisture in presence of sunlight. In this process oxygen is liberated and goes into the air. Thus, the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere remains constant.hope it will help you. |
