The muscle is made up of muscle cells and these cells have a blood supply.

The blood supply brings food (sugars - glucose) and oxygen to the muscle cells.

Inside the muscle cells (in the mitochondria) the sugar is "burned" using the oxygen, to release the chemical energy locked in the sugar.

This energy is used to contract the muscle cells when the organism wants to move.

Note, the original source of the energy (in the sugar) is from Sunlight trapped by plants.
