Answer:

Oxygen absorbs harmful UV radiation, ozone helps living things release energy from food.

Step-by-step explanation:

This because oxygen is release during photosynthesis which is use for cellular respiration. During cellular respiration oxygen is absorbed which breakdown food substances to release energy.

While ozone is a layer in the atmosphere that has ability to absorb harmful UV radiations preventing from getting into atmosphere.
