Yes. The sun is often cited as an example of energy from fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium. You might consider then that this is "simple" physical chemical reaction between these atoms.

However hydrogen does not combine to make helium under normal conditions.

What it takes is that the hydrogen atoms are squeezed together by the massive gravity of the sun until the nucleus of each atoms essentially touch and unite to form hydrogen and release energy in the process.

In short the Sun is able to convert energy from gravity into light.

Does photosynthesis need the suns heat energy or the suns light energy?

Photosynthesis primarily relies on the sun's light energy, which is captured by chlorophyll in plant cells to drive the photosynthetic process. While some heat energy may be generated as a byproduct of photosynthesis, it is not the main source of energy for the process.
