Answer:

The cellular respiration

Step-by-step explanation:

All eukaryotes cells (like the ones in our bodies) take the glucose to produce the energy the organism requires. This is done by an oxidation process of the glucose interacting with the oxygen.

The energy is the one contained in the chemical bonds of the glucose and the rest of the molecule is transformed to carbon dioxide waste.
