Cells need glucose and oxygen to produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. Glucose serves as the primary fuel source, while oxygen is essential for the efficient conversion of glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. This process takes place in the mitochondria and involves a series of biochemical reactions that ultimately release energy.
