The document summarizes the oxygen and carbon cycles. It explains that oxygen is essential for life on Earth and makes up a large percentage of the human body and atmosphere. It then describes the oxygen cycle, where plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, using carbon dioxide, sunlight and water, and animals release carbon dioxide when breathing. When plants and animals die they decompose and release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. The carbon cycle is also summarized, where plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and either use it to build tissues or release it, and carbon is passed between plants, herbivores and other organisms.
