Plants get energy from fertilizers and animals get energy from drinking water.

Plants get energy from glucose produced in the soil, and animals get energy directly from sunlight.

Plants break down the glucose they produced in photosynthesis, and animals get energy from eating other organisms.

Plants do not require energy because they do not move, and animals get energy by performing exercise.

6CO₂  + 6H₂O + Solar Energy      →          C₆H₁₂O₆  + 6O₂

3CO₂  + 3H₂O + Solar Energy      →          3C₆H₁₂O₆ + 3O₂

C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂         →             CO₂   +  H₂O  + ATP

C₆H₁₂O₆  + 6O₂         →          6CO₂  +  6H₂O + ATP
