starches and sugars
Energy for movement comes from the food we eat, which is converted into chemical energy through a process called cellular respiration. This chemical energy is then used by our muscles to create the physical movement needed for activities like walking or running.
It oxidizes sugars to convert chemical bonds to energy.
Fusion energy in the Sun's core produces light that leaves the Sun as electromagnetic radiation. This is trapped by the chloroplasts in plant cells and the energy is used to break chemical bonds and make new chemical bonds. Sugars are made and the sugars store the Sun's energy as chemical energy.
The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process. It may be aerobic or anaerobic.The oxidation/ reduction of sugars release energy during respiration. The phenomenon of liberation of energy from sugars is a katabolic process.

Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts of plant cells, converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process involves capturing light energy to produce sugars (such as glucose) from carbon dioxide and water.
Sugars of various types
The external energy needed for photosynthesis comes from sunlight. Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This stored chemical energy in the form of sugars is used by the plant for growth, reproduction, and metabolism.
A type of chemical energy.
The process turns light energy into chemical potential energy (the sun's light is used to create sugars).
chemical energy
Organisms use photosynthesis in order to use the sun's energy into chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in sugars which are synthesized from water and carbon dioxide.
