The oxygen we breath is in the form of diatomic molecules (O2). When we inhale oxygen it gets absorbed into the bloodstream and is distributed throughout the body.

Inside our cells is, simply put, reacted with glucose that we get from food. The reaction produces carbon dioxide and water and releases energy that our bodies can use.
