Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
The energy comes from the sunlight in this case.
Photosynthesis
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.

During photosynthesis, a plants chlorophyll underoges a chemical reaction with minerals, sunlight, and all the water it takes in to form sugars to stay alive!
chloroplasts
Nothing really converts energy to sugars. The energy of sunlight is stored in sugars. Which structure is responsible depends on how detailed you want to be: the green plant, the leaf cell or the chloroplast.

It preforms photosynthesis and makes sugars which are used for energy and construction material. Also the sugars are stored as starch. All from water, sunlight and carbon dioxide.
The energy comes from the sunlight in this case.
Plants use photosynthesis to turn sunlight (radiant energy, light) into chemical energy, which is stored in organic compounds such as sugars, starches, and cellulose.
sunlight, sugars and proteins
A plant can be called a chemical factory due to photosynthesis. The chemical factory of the plant uses sunlight to produce energy that is stored in sugars.
The organelle that releases stored energy which comes mostly from sugars is the mitochondrion. It is called the powerhouse of a cell.
yes of course
The metabolic process that uses sunlight for energy is photosynthesis. This sunlight is used to make sugars for the plant to use.
