Photosynthesis and Cellular RespirationPhotosynthesis creates glucose molecules (instead of eating) → this fuels cellular respiration in the plant cells → which creates ATP → which fuels plant growth and reproduction → which provides carbohydrates to animals for their cellular respiration. The energy cycle continues. The formula in plants is:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light Energy C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2
