Can the fetus metabolize glucose without oxygen?

First of all, the human fetus does have oxygen. The oxygen is obtained from the mother's blood via the placenta. But if the fetus did not have oxygen temporarily, s/he could still metabolize glucose. This would be done the same way that other humans metabolize glucose without oxygen--by converting it to lactic acid.

How much glucose and oxygen is needed in photosynthesis?

Well, to start off, neither glucose nor oxygen are needed to perform photosynthesis. They are both, in fact, byproducts of this process. During photosynthesis, glucose is made and used as a food source for plants. The oxygen is given off as a waste product. Photosynthesis does need some very important substances. One of which is Sunlight. Another is Water. But the third factor is Carbon Dioxide, not oxygen. Without these things, the plant could not survive.

How humans you use oxygen in industry?

Terrible grammar. Either the asker does not speek English or is mentally challenged. I will slowly answer this question the best that I can. Humans... use oxygen... to breathe... If humans could not breathe they could not do anything industrial! That is "how humans you use oxygen in industry". They breathe it. You should try it. Your brain could use some oxygen numbnut!
