Answer:

The source of glucose molecules in plants is the product formed by the process of photosynthesis which is ultimately stored in the parts of plants. In animals, glucose is formed by the oxidation of carbohydrates which are obtained from food.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic producers create glucose, which stores energy in its chemical bonds. Then, both plants and consumers, such as animals, undergo a series of metabolic pathways—collectively called cellular respiration.
