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 does oxygen and food get to the cells in your body?
Oxygen is carried to the cells by red blood cells in the bloodstream, where it is picked up by hemoglobin. Food is broken down into nutrients in the digestive system and then absorbed into the bloodstream, where it is carried to the cells for energy and growth.
Why do I need oxygen to survive?
You need oxygen to survive because it is essential for your body to produce energy. Oxygen is used in a process called cellular respiration, where it helps break down nutrients from food to create energy for your cells. Without enough oxygen, your cells cannot function properly, leading to serious health problems and eventually death.
Why do cells need energy oxygen and food?
Cells need energy to carry out essential functions such as growth, repair, and reproduction. Oxygen is required as it is used in a process called cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP. Food provides the raw materials and nutrients needed for cells to build and maintain their structures, as well as the energy source for cellular processes.
How do your cells get raw materials that they need to respire?
Cells acquire raw materials such as glucose and oxygen through the bloodstream. Glucose is primarily obtained from the breakdown of carbohydrates in the diet, while oxygen is taken in through the lungs during respiration. These raw materials are then transported to the cells where they are used in the process of cellular respiration to produce energy.
Do the arteries carry blood rich in food and oxygen?
Yes. Oxygen directly, the veins get the food first but it must pass through the lungs and the heart to get to the arteries (and thence to the cells).
A substance from digested food that all your cells need?
oxygen
When your cells metabolize food what do they need to help them do the job?
Cells need oxygen and enzymes to help metabolize food. Oxygen is used in the process of cellular respiration to generate energy, while enzymes act as catalysts to speed up the reactions involved in breaking down food molecules.
What carries food and oxygen to the cells?
blood carry oxygen to cells
What does oxygen do in your body apart from breathing?
Your cells need oxygen to turn food into energy, reproduce, and basically perform all of their tasks.
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.
What gas do muscle cells need?
All cells need Oxygen.
What is red cell metabolism?
cells need oxygen and a food supply to servive and once used up they die
What do cells need to have if they need to survive?
oxygen
What two things must a cell have?
You need water, oxygen, and food. No light is required. But you do need the circulatory system to remove the wastes from the cells.
From what source do cells get food?
ANSWER IS NOT OXYGEN, I ANSWERED OXYGEN AND IT WASN'T RIGHT. The correct answer is BLOOD
What is conservation of cytoplasm and why is it important?
we know that we all need oxygen to live , we can live without food for 3 to 4 days and also water 2 to 3 days but the the first and the foremost thing that we need to live is oxygen .this oxygen is stored in some particular cells called the cytoplasm . these cells help plants prepare there food and if this cells are damaged then there is not fresh and pure air we can breath, hence this required.
