Cells use energy because they do things like growing, dividing, synthesizing proteins, metabolizing food, and evacuating wastes.
These processes require the creation of chemical bonds and the movement of matter - both of which can only take place if energy is supplied.
Of course, if your question is *how* do cells use energy then you need to study cellular respiration (also called the Krebs Cycle) and the role of ATP in energy storage.

That is because energy is needed for their synthesizing, dividing and so on. Energy is required for this process.

They are alive. Living things need food or energy to stay alive.

Because they can. Without using energy they wouldn't be alive.

no difference actually both use glucose and ATP. its only that plant cells can produce glucose internally while animals need it from outside.
