When it is not captured
the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer
Heat is a form of energy. Therefore they are not synonymous as whilst all heat is energy, not all energy is heat.
As far as I know, there is no such thing as "mechanical heat energy"; there is mechanical energy, and there is heat energy.

When it is not captured
it is not the sun that is captured, but the sun's energy. it is the heat and the light that "feeds" the plant. :)
Energy is released in nuclear fission and fusion, this is a fact of the physics of the nucleus. This energy can be captured and harnessed as thermal energy (heat)
•Producers create organic molecules (protein, lipids, and carbohydrates) by capturing light energy and combining the captured energy with inorganic molecules.
how is elctromagnetic energy from the sun captured stored and finally converted into energy in glucose
Solar energy from the sun is captured and converted to normal energy through the solar panels.
solar energy
stored in starch or glycogen for use later by the cell
Solar energy is captured and converted to normal energy through solar panels.You see the solar panle collects the energy from the sun some solar panels turn the heat into energy but others collect it from the light. The energy goes in an energy box and when energy is needed the energy that the solar panel collected gets used.It only transforms, it is not yet possible to make energy.I've given a couple links below to articles that can answer your question.

Solar energy should be captured and stored. This energy can be used for generating electricity with the help of solar panels,solar cells etc. It is also used in solar cookers and solar heaters etc.
