If atmospheric oxygen greatly decreases, what will be affected most directly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Respiration and combustion
Oxygen supports aerobic respiration, in which cells release energy from food, and it also supports combustion, which is a rapid oxidation process. Therefore, a major fall in oxygen would directly hinder breathing and make burning more difficult. Ocean tides and Earth’s revolution are mainly governed by gravity and orbital motion, while argon remains chemically inert; these processes are not directly controlled by oxygen concentration.
