When oxygen is breathed by the lungs, it is transported to arteries and so oxygenates blood - this is used to feed cells of different tissues of different organs.
Glucose is used for energy to the body can function

Oxygen is used primarily in cellular respiration, a process often powered by glucose catabolism. The Krebs Cycle is a biochemical pathway for the conversion of acetyl coA (a product of glucose conversion to pyruvate during glycolysis and then modification to acetyl coA while passing into the mitochondria) to multiple intermediates which release biologically important products, such as ATP, NADH, and FADH2. The latter two molecules function to pass high energy electrons down and electron transport chain, whose final products include the formation of water from hydrogen ions, electrons, and OXYGEN.
Although glucose is a key reactant, proteins, lipids, and other carbohydrates are not off limits to catabolic metabolism to fuel cellular respiration.
Animals also have the ability to store alpha-glucose (the one we metabolize) in the form of the highly branched polymer glycogen, which can be found in the liver and muscles.

animals use oxygen and glucose in respiration.they are used to provide energy and their reaction will give off water and carbon dioxide as biproducts

They use it to breathe and they use glycose to supply their bodies with energy.
