In the Air, the Plane flys on the engines on the wing. If an engine goes out the engine stays out and it flys on the remaining ones. On the ground the Airport may have a few engines available to swap out if something is drastically wrong with the engine. Commericial Passenger aircraft have an Auxillary Power Unit (APU) that is a turbine engine that provides electrical and hydraulic power for emergencies or while a/c is parked on the ground. The Boeing 747 has its APU mounted in the tail--that is the exhaust you see when you look at the hole in the tail. Boeing 727 have an APU mounted in its wheel well; its inlet is on one side the the exhaust is on the other side. Usually on the ground, the aircraft is plugged into ground power carts and air conditioning carts, but the APU can be used.

Depends on the airplane size and engines used.
What provides thrust to a real airplane?
The thrust is an airplane is provided by the engines.
What causes an airplane to accelerate?
An airplane accelerates due to the thrust generated by its engines. As the engines produce forward thrust, the aircraft gains speed. The thrust must overcome drag forces acting on the airplane to achieve acceleration.
What makes the airplane move?
The engines, driving propellers or jets, make the airplane move.
