When bonds form during cell processes, energy is released.

Plants and animals need energy to carry out essential life processes like growth, reproduction, movement, and maintaining homeostasis. This energy comes from breaking down nutrients in food through processes like photosynthesis in plants and cellular respiration in animals.
Energy is needed by all living organisms to carry out biological processes. This energy is usually obtained through the consumption of nutrients and is utilized in processes like metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
life processes
If you mean living processes, then the answer is Sunlight. If you mean geological processes, then the answer is decay (nuclear fission) of radioactive isotopes in the Earth's core and Sunlight. If you mean tidal processes, then the answer is kinetic (rotational) energy transfer.

No, energy is not alive. Energy is a property or characteristic of matter that allows it to do work or cause change. Living organisms use energy for various processes, but energy itself is not a living entity.
When bonds form during cell processes, energy is released.
No, non-living things are also associated with energy. Energy exists in various forms in the environment, such as in sunlight, wind, and heat. Living organisms rely on this energy to sustain life processes.
Fungi get their energy from living or dead organisms. They will usually specialize in living or dead and it is rare that they can do both.
There are probably many energy processes in living beings, and specifically in plants. These include photosynthesis - converting light energy (from the Sun) into chemical energy; stored as sugar; and processes where the plant uses up the sugar for its maintenance, growth, etc. - just as other living beings use up sugar (which they eventually obtained from plants).
