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.

How do the blood cells carry food?
blood cells do not carry food, blood cells carry oxygen.
what part of the blood cells carry food nutrients and oxygen to all cells?
The blood plasma contains the red blood cells which carries the food nutrients and oxygen to all the cells.
Why do animals need a continuous supply of oxygen?
Animals need a continuous supply of oxygen because it obtains energy from their food. To acquire such energy from food, cells in animals require a steady supply of ATP in order to function. To produce this ATP, cellular respiration requires oxygen. Without ATP, cells and the organism will die so therefore, animals need a continuous supply of oxygen to survive.
How does oxygen and food get to the cells in your body?
Human cells obtain the much-needed food and oxygen via the bloodstream.
