You must have oxygen delivered to every cell in your body at all times. If you don't, all processes that require oxygen will stop. You use glucose to make ATP (an energy carrying molecule) but it requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor. If oxygen isn't there, all will stop. Cyanide has the ability to stop this reaction and your body will stop in about 2 minutes.
