*Energy is the capacity to do work or cause change* Organisms store energy in organic molecules as chemical energy* Free energy is the portion of energy released during chemical reactions that is available to do work* -
Yes, photosynthesis is what converts the light energy from the sun into the usable chemical energy that organisms use.

energy
Organisms that derive their chemical energy from the process of chemosynthesis include certain bacteria, archaea, and some specialized extremophiles. These organisms use inorganic compounds such as hydrogen sulfide, methane, or ammonia to produce energy through chemical reactions instead of relying on sunlight for photosynthesis.
Just 2 of the possible answers:Plants use external energy - light (photo-electric energy) for photosynthesis and make glucose. So in this example light energy --> chemical energyMany living organisms use chemical energy stored in their cells as fat/glucose/starch/ATP for heat and movement. So chemical energy --> thermal energy or chemical energy --> kinetic energy.
no
Chemical energy
Yes, organisms can use potential energy to do work. For example, plants convert potential energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose into kinetic energy for growth and movement. Animals also utilize potential energy stored in food molecules to fuel their activities.
for growth, repairing cells, to move, for cellular work
ATP
Yes, photosynthesis is what converts the light energy from the sun into the usable chemical energy that organisms use.
Chemical energy is stored in carbohydrates (starches) and lipids (fats).
Yes
energy
Organisms use photosynthesis in order to use the sun's energy into chemical energy. The chemical energy is stored in sugars which are synthesized from water and carbon dioxide.
