Answer:

Energy is the main force of the oxygen cycle and not to mention also photosynthesis, which is responsible for the creation of the earth's atmosphere. This would also mean that plants are the main focus of the Oxygen cycle and energy is needed to make plants. So without energy, no plants would exist! Not to mention the oxygen cycle wouldn't work without energy. Plants are also able to use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen.

Hope this helps! :)
