No, oxygen is an oxidiser, combustion reactions are oxygen reduction reactions.
Yes. The space shuttle carries oxygen for its crew to breathe and to act as an oxidizer for its fuel.
The space shuttle carries oxygen for two reasons: to allow the crew to breathe and to act as an oxidizer for its hydrogen fuel.
Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat Fuel, Oxygen and Heat
Lungs provide the body with oxygen. Oxygen is not exactly a fuel, but oxygen is necessary in order to burn fuel. Fuel for the body comes in the form of food, and oxygen is necessary to metabolize the food.
Fuel plus oxygen is the same as combustion, where the fuel reacts with oxygen to release energy in the form of heat and light.
A flame is pure energy so it has no real chemical composition except from the chemical compositions of the oxygen and fuel (usually hydrocarbons) needed for it to burn. A flame requires fuel, oxygen and heat energy, although it gives off light and heat energy as well. The act of burning is reacting the fuel with oxygen in the air but the flame itself has no chemical composition.

Oxygen itself is not a fuel, but it is a necessary component for combustion to occur. In the presence of a fuel and heat source, oxygen enables the fuel to undergo combustion, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
The oxygen is carried in tanks as a liquid, just as the fuel is.
No, oxygen is not a fuel. It is a gas that is necessary for combustion to occur, but it is not a source of energy itself.
The word equation for the reaction between fuel (such as hydrocarbons) and oxygen is: fuel + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + heat.
