Answer:

It is used by cells

Step-by-step explanation:

As it turns out, oxygen is the essential ingredient for making energy in a process called cellular respiration. ... All body cells engage in cellular respiration. They use oxygen and glucose, a sugar found in the foods we eat and convert them to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or cellular energy.
