To make ATP.
Glucose is broken down (glycolysis → citric acid cycle → oxidative phosphorylation) so cells can capture the stored chemical energy as ATP, which powers cellular processes. Photosynthesis makes glucose (in plants), and cellular respiration does not primarily build carbohydrates or make more glucose.
