Normally, the glucose can simply osmose into the cell. Oxygen is not required to get the food. The food is mainly digested and requires oxygen to extract as much energy as possible. However, some single celled organisms(such as yeast) don't need the oxygen, and give off lactic acid or alcohol as a byproduct. Lactic acid is produced by humans, and will make the muscular system very weak. Yeast typically give off alcohol and CO2. This gives alcoholic beverages their "kick". The CO2 is useful for breadmaking, but most alcohol is cooked out, leaving fluffy bread
The process used by to release energy depends on the cell. There are processesthroughout life that can metabolise just about anything containing chemical energy. The plants can also gather energy from the sun and other organisms can take energy from volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean.
In animals there are also many processes that metabolise things like protein, fat and carbohydrates One common process humans use for metabolising carbohydrates, glucose particularly is called glycolysis. This involves 10 steps, each step giving energy in the form of ATP or Adenosine Tri Phosphate. The ATP is then used by enzymes to do the actual work.

Cellular respiration is the process most cells use to get energy. It is a chemical reaction where energy is released from glucose.
i think it is their vacuoles. they store 'food' to use as energy for when they need it.
During cellular respiration cells break down glucose molecules,in the presence of oxygen,releasing energy.

cellular respiration
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells produce energy (in the form of ATP) from food (glucose) in the presence of oxygen.
Respiration ---- * areobic respiration which requires oxygen * anaerobic doesn't require oxygen aerobic respiration needs glucose and oxygen. During anaerobic respiration the glucose is only partly broken down to form lactic acid and energy.
Oxygen is used by cells for the process of respiration. Respiration is the release of energy from food. When this happens using oxygen it is called aerobic respiration: glucose + oxygen ----> water + carbon dioxide + ENERGY IRON
Food serves as a source of raw materials from which the cells of the body can synthesize new molecules, provides living things with the chemical building blocks they need to grow and reproduce, and as a source of energy. Oxygen is used to break down glucose in the process of cellular respiration. Food and oxygen is how cells get their energy. When the nutrients combine with oxygen, energy is released. The process is similar to burning or how a car engine gets its energy. There is a chemical reaction which releases energy.
They use energy from carbon -di-oxide & it is known as anaerobic respiration.It occurs in the absence of oxygen & release 2 molecules of ATP from one glucose molecule. It also produces alcohol & lactic acid
The process is fermentation.

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells produce energy (in the form of ATP) from food (glucose) in the presence of oxygen.
Oxygen is essential for aerobic cellular respiration, the process by which cells get energy from food. If we are deprived of oxygen, aerobic respiration will cease, and we will not be able to get enough energy to survive.
The process of breaking down food for energy using oxygen is called cellular respiration. This process occurs in mitochondria within cells and involves the conversion of glucose and oxygen into ATP, the main energy currency of cells. Through cellular respiration, cells generate energy, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts.
Body cells get energy by breathing through cellular respiration. Respiration is the process by which the oxygen we breathe in is used to oxidize food, leading to energy release.

oxygen is primarily used by all living things to breakdown food to energy in a process called oxidation. We get this oxygen by respiration process. Apart from this plants use oxygen to make their food using sunlight in presence of Chlorophyll. Ad also by exhaling..
Oxygen is used to break down energy which is then used in cells.
