The sun's energy is harnessed by plants through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy in the form of sugars. When you eat plant-based foods or animals that have consumed plants, you obtain the stored solar energy, which your body then metabolizes to fuel your cells and provide you with energy.
Animals obtain the stored solar energy from plants by consuming them as food. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert sunlight into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. When animals eat plants, they can extract this energy through cellular respiration to fuel their own biological processes.
Animals cannot make their own food through photosynthesis like plants because they do not possess chloroplasts or the necessary cellular machinery to carry out this process. Instead, animals have evolved to obtain their energy by consuming other organisms or organic matter. This process allows them to extract nutrients and energy from their food to fuel their metabolic processes.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one type of energy into another. All of our energy comes from the Sun. Plants store that energy in the 'food' they make, glucose, a type of sugar, which then gets packaged into larger molecules of starch. Animals eat plants and the energy in the plants is used by the animals which eat the plants to provide the fuel for all the chemical reactions in their body. Then other animals eat the animals which eat the plants and so on and so on. So the energy comes from the Sun, is stored (and used) by plants through photosynthesis, then by organisms which eat the plants and so on.
Sugars are the fuel for respiration. Respiration fulfills the energy need of cell
All forms of energy on Earth, including the fuel used in cars, can ultimately be traced back to plants and sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Plants harness sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which can then be used as fuel by animals and humans. Fossil fuels are also formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that stored energy from sunlight millions of years ago.

the fuel cells convert hydrogen into energy using a converter and that energy is used to power the vehicle
well, from my 5th grade science, my tacher said theres all kind of energy, animals use most of it like us. That includes potential energy and kinetic energy, and others like mechanical energy. If the animals a mammal, just look up what energy humans use.
The original source of biomass energy is organic matter derived from plants and animals that have absorbed sunlight through photosynthesis. Fossil fuel energy originates from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago and have undergone geological processes like heat and pressure to become coal, oil, and natural gas.
