Where does the food you eat obtain the energy contained in it?

The food you eat obtained the energy contained in it by eating plants, and or eating other organisms which ate plants. Plants obtain energy by a process known as photosynthesis in which they receive energy from the sun (photons) and store it in sugars such as chlorophyll. These sugars are starches and other carbohydrates which can be broken down and the stored energy is released and used by your body.
