Only as an energy source, it requires amino acids for animals to make proteins.
Plants store energy in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When animals eat plants, they break down these carbohydrates through cellular respiration to release the stored energy for their own use.
Energy from the sun is eventually used by humans when we eat the carbohydrates that plants make when they use the sun's energy to synthesize carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide, or when we eat the flesh of animals who eat the carbohydrates from plants, or if we eat the flesh of animals who eat other animals who eat carbohydrates from plants.
Trees and other plants reserve a small fraction of oxygen produced from photosynthesis to convert their carbohydrates into energy. This differs from animals who eat food to obtain carbohydrates.
The main energy source for plant-eating animals is carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches, found in plants. These carbohydrates are broken down during digestion to release energy for the animal to use.
Both plants and animals store chemical energy in a nucleotide called ATP (Adenosine-TriPhosphate). This nucleotide acts as a coenzyme for different processes in cells when it releases energy by turning into ADP (adenosine Diphosphate).
Plants store glucose for later use.
animals and plant use energy for living
Carbohydrates are used as an energy source for many animals and plants. Examples: potato makes starch to store energy and animals eat them to gain the energy they need. Also sugars, which are monomers, are used by the plants as energy source by photosynthesis. Second example would be that insects use a carbohydrate called chitin which is used to build their exoskeleton.

The sun is a source of energy but we cant use it for ourselves other than staying warm. the main source of energy for most living things are nucleic acids, they send chemical reactions to the body that make us who we are -Edited by Jordan R.
