| definition: |
Oxygen is a gas that is a part of air. Oxygen has no color or smell, and we can't see it. When we breathe, our bodies take in oxygen from the air. Without oxygen, we cannot live. Other living things need oxygen too.
Plants are very important for making oxygen. Without plants, there would be no oxygen in the air and almost no life would survive. |
