Fortunately, photosynthesis by plants constantly replenishes the oxygen on our world. As a byproduct of this process, oxygen is produced when carbon dioxide and water are transformed into energy. The Amazon rainforest, which is 5.5 million square kilometers (2.1 million square miles) in size, recycles a considerable fraction of the oxygen on Earth while also absorbing a huge amount of carbon dioxide.
