Oxygen acts as a hydrogen acceptor in cellular respiration.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2+ 6H2O + Energy

Sugar + oxygen ---> Carbon dioxide + energy

We eat carbohydrates (sugars) and through breathing obtain oxygenand through a series of reactions break down the sugar into CO2 and water, which releases energy for your metabolic processes.
