Our metabolisms take advantage of a reaction between oxygen gas and compounds such as glucose to release energy. Oxygen compounds do not contain the same energy and do not react in quite the same way with other substances, so we cannot use them. Most substances that are as reactive as oxygen are toxic, but we have adapted specifically to be able to use oxygen.

How does oxygen use by animals?
Animals breathe in oxygen in the air.
Why does your bodies need to respire?
To Breathe.. You Use Your Lungs To Breathe In Oxygen And Breathe Out Carbon Dioxide.
Why dont animals use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere?
Animals do not use up all the oxygen in the atmosphere because plants produce oxygen. When they breathe, plants inhale carbon dioxide (which is what animals breathe out) and exhale oxygen (which is what animals breathe in).
What are examples of oxygen?
Examples of oxygen include the oxygen gas we breathe in the atmosphere, oxygen molecules in water (H2O), and oxygen atoms in organic compounds like carbohydrates and fats.
What is the use of oxygen in your body?
so you can breathe
Do you breathe in or breathe out oxygen?
Humans breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Trees "breathe" out oxygen.
What do turtles use their lungs for?

How humans you use oxygen in industry?
Terrible grammar. Either the asker does not speek English or is mentally challenged. I will slowly answer this question the best that I can. Humans... use oxygen... to breathe...

What is a use for oxygen?
one use of oxygen is it is clean air to help you breathe Oxygen is essential for life for nearly all species on the earth. Amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates are just a few of the compounds that contain oxygen. Plus, oxygen is required by living things for aerobic cellular respiration in order to get the maximum amount of ATP from each molecule of glucose.
