Green plants and certain bacteria use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis, producing energy-rich compounds like glucose. Other organisms rely on consuming these plant-derived compounds or other organisms to gain energy.
The source of energy for chemosynthesis is typically inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, methane, or ammonia. Chemosynthetic organisms use this energy to convert carbon dioxide into organic molecules, without relying on sunlight like photosynthesis.
The sun is the source of radiant energy in Photosynthesis photosynthesis - synthesis of compounds with the aid of radiant energy (especially in plants)

Carbohydrates..they provide energy
In addition to green plants, other organisms such as algae and certain bacteria also utilize an external energy source, primarily sunlight, to produce energy-rich compounds through a process called photosynthesis. Some microorganisms, like certain types of archaea, can use chemical energy from inorganic compounds through chemosynthesis to create energy-rich molecules. Additionally, fungi and some animals rely on external sources of organic matter for energy, but they do not directly convert sunlight into energy-rich compounds like plants and photosynthetic organisms do.
The sun
An outside source of energy is required for systems that do not produce their own energy, such as electronic devices, vehicles, and buildings. This energy is needed to power the functioning of these systems and to perform the tasks they are designed for.
