Ferns obtain energy through photosynthesis, a process in which they use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. They have chlorophyll in their leaves that captures sunlight and facilitates this energy conversion. The glucose produced is used as a source of food and energy for the fern.
No, heating food in the oven is a conversion of electrical energy to thermal energy. The heat energy generated in the oven causes the molecules in the food to move faster, resulting in the food being cooked.

You obtain the energy from the food you eat, when you breath your body breaks down the food and turns it into energy that it can use ATP molecules.
The type of energy conversion for a microwave is the transformation of electrical energy into light energy. This device works by focusing microwave light on the food inside of it.
Guinea Pigs obtain energy from their food (kibble, vegetables, fruits, etc.)
Estuary food webs begin with the conversion of the sun's energy to food energy by plants and plankton.
Animals obtain their energy and carbon from the food they ingest. Carbohydrates and protein are a good source of carbon and energy.
The chemical process that converts food into energy is called cellular respiration. It occurs in the mitochondria of cells and involves breaking down food molecules to produce ATP, the main energy currency of the cell.
