they convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. This means they get to make (photosynthesis) and consume their own food for energy

It is very interesting how photosynthesis and cellular respiration help each other. During photosynthesis, the plant needs carbon dioxide and water-- both of which are released into the air during respiration. And during respiration, the plant needs oxygen and glucose, which are both produced through photosynthesis!
