  oxygen - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about oxygen
Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis and the basis for respiration in plants and animals.
Oxygen is obtained for industrial use by the fractional distillation of liquid air, by the electrolysis of water, or by heating manganese(IV) oxide with potassium chlorate.
Oxygen is essential for combustion, and is used with ethyne (acetylene) in high-temperature oxyacetylene welding and cutting torches.

 Oxygen
Oxygen, as a supposed mild euphoric, has a history of recreational use (see oxygen bar), however the reality of this effect is doubtful.
In the 19th century, oxygen was often mixed with nitrous oxide to promote an analgesic effect; a stable 50% gaseous mixture (Entonox) is commonly used in medicine today as an analgesic, and 30% oxygen with 70% nitrous oxide is the common basic anaesthetic mixture.
In the case of spacesuits, oxygen partial pressure in the breathing gas is typically about 0.30 bar (1.4 times normal), and oxygen partial pressure in the astronaut's blood (due to downward adjustments due to water vapor and CO in the alveoli) is close to sea-level normal of 0.14 bar.

Oxygen (IPA:) is a chemical element with the chemical symbol O and atomic number 8.
Unbound oxygen (also called molecular oxygen, or dioxygen, O2, a diatomic molecule) first appeared in significant quantities on Earth during the Paleoproterozoic era (between 2.5 billion years ago and 1.6 billion years ago) as a product of the metabolic action of early anaerobes (archaea and bacteria).

 Pulmonary alveolus Summary
Oxygen moves from the alveoli (high oxygen concentration) to the blood (lower oxygen concentration, due to the continuous consumption of oxygen in the body).
Oxygen dissolved in the blood may diffuse into red blood cells and bind to hemoglobin.
The rest of the difference is due to the continual uptake of oxygen by the pulmonary capillaries, and the continual diffusion of CO out of the capillaries into the alveoli.

 Hypoxia (disambiguation) Summary
Anaemic hypoxia is a state where the oxygen content of blood is low and the cause is anaemia, a decrease in the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
Environmental hypoxia or oxygen depletion, a reduced concentration of dissolved oxygen in a water body leading to stress and death in aquatic organisms.
Oxygen saturation is a relative measure of the amount of oxygen that is dissolved or carried in a given medium and is therefore a measure of hypoxia or hypoxic conditions.

The presence of usable quantities of water on the Moon would be an important factor in rendering lunar habitation cost-effective, since transporting water (or hydrogen and oxygen) from Earth would be prohibitively expensive.
