Answer;
Oxygen or an oxidizing agent to receive electrons must be present for oxidation to occur in chemical reactions.
Explanation;
Oxidation entails the loss of electrons from these molecules, causing them to become unstable and highly reactive and leading to their eventual reaction with and damage of cell components such as membranes.
-In redox reaction; The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the oxidizing agent; by accepting electrons it causes the oxidation of another species. Conversely, the species that donates electrons is called the reducing agent; when the reaction occurs, it reduces the other species.

Photosynthesis occurs only in the light while cellular respiration occurs in both the dark and the light. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. The process takes in carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and the release waste products.
Organisms that obtain energy by eating other organisms are called consumers. They are organisms like animals and fungi.
