False.

Oxygen is not transferred between living forms through the food chain. Instead, oxygen is produced primarily by photosynthetic organisms (like plants and phytoplankton) and is consumed by animals and other organisms that perform respiration. The food chain illustrates the flow of energy and nutrients, but oxygen itself is a separate component in the process of respiration and photosynthesis, not transferred through the trophic levels.
