It depends on what kind of "living thing" you are asking about.

In cellular respiration, animals must combine oxygen with glucose to produce ATP- their energy source.

In photosynthesis, Plants combine carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH, which make glucose.

Other living things use different chemicals. Many chemosynthetic bacteria use sulfides!
