Final answer:

Oxygen releases energy within cells through cellular respiration by producing ATP.


Explanation:

Oxygen, in combination with nutrients, releases energy within cells throughout the body through a process known as cellular respiration. During this process, oxygen is utilized to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary form of cellular energy. The blood carries oxygen to tissues and collects carbon dioxide, ensuring a continuous supply of oxygen for energy production.
