In order to pass current through a solution you need to have ions in it. Table salt (NaCl) dissolves into Na+ and Cl- ions. Meanwhile sugar does not dissociate into ions in a water solution.

How does energy work through sugar dissolving in water?

The electrical current doesn't pass through the water which sugar was dissolved; because sugar doesn't ionize in water. (For example salt ionizes in water) You can determine which solutions dissolve water by looking at it's solute: If the solute is a compuon formed with covalent bonds, that the solution will be electrically unconductive, if is formed by ionic bonds; then the solution will be electrically conductive.

Why the suspension solution does not allow the light to pass through them?

suspension solution does not allow the light to pass through it because particles present in the solution are larger in the size so they absorb the light and they obstruct the path. thus the light does not pass through it.
