Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Animals obtain energy from the food they consume, using that energy to maintain body temperature and perform other metabolic functions. Glucose, found in the food animals eat, is broken down during the process of cellular respiration into an energy source called ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants synthesize glucose using carbon dioxide and water, and glucose in turn is used for energy requirements for the plant. Excess glucose is often stored as starch that is catabolized (the breakdown of larger molecules by cells) by humans and other animals that feed on plants.
