If what you are asking is; how would one obtain (since you can't make nor destroy energy - first law of thermodynamics) energy if there is no food?
Well, as a human or animal (or any other heterotroph) it is not possible to obtain such energy because unlike plants, we can't take energy from the atmosphere and convert it to usable energy that sustains life.
If one was a photoautotroph or chemoautotroph, then one would be able to convert/obtain energy from sun light or inorganic subtances.
For heterotrophs we need food or else we die.
Plants use the energy in sunlight to make food
when they make their food and eat it (use it i mean) the producer gets energy. WE get energy by eating, so do they.
Plants can make food using the sun's energy.
Chloroplasts use energy of sunlight to make food
Energy
Your body does not make energy, it extracts it from the food you eat.
You get the energy you need by eating food. Your body makes energy with the nutritions in the food. It can make kinetic energy or potential energy.
Plants capture the sun to make food.
They use photosynthesis to turn sun energy to food energy.
Chloroplasts convert energy into glucose.
plants perform photosynthesis and make their food with their energy.
