By digesting starch and sugars from food. In humans, this is done in the mouth and the small intestine, by the enzymes amylase (for starch and sugars) and lipase (for fats). This is then absorbed into the bloodstream through the micro-villi and delivered to the cells, which then use it in aerobic respiration.
