By passive diffusion down its concentration gradient, which requires no energy expenditure from the cell. Basically, if you have more oxygen outside a cell than inside a cell, it travels through channels or holes in the cell membrane until the concentration of oxygen is equal inside and outside the cell.

CO2 and O2 go inside and outside the cell due to a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the process of movement of a substance from area of high concentration to the area where its concentration is higher.

Simple diffusion. Oxygen and carbon dioxide can both go directly through the lipid bilayer.
Picks up the oxygen, and takes it to all the living cells of our bodies.

What causes oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to leave the capillaries?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide get into and out of cells via diffusion. The gases diffuse across the thin capillary wall, and then diffuse across the cell membrane.

What are guard cells and what is their function?

Guard cells allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in and out of the leaf. This is known as leaf exchange. When guard cells are full of water they swell up and close meaning no oxygen can leave or carbon dioxide can enter, but when the water is taken away from the cell they open up to allow oxygen to exit and carbon dioxide to enter.
