High-energy foods stored in plants primarily include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Carbohydrates, such as starch, are the main form of energy storage in many plants, found in tubers, seeds, and grains. Fats, often stored in seeds, provide concentrated energy and are essential for seed development. Additionally, proteins can serve as a source of energy and are vital for growth and metabolism in plants.
Prior to cellular respiration, energy is primarily stored in the form of glucose, a simple sugar that organisms derive from carbohydrates. Glucose is a key energy source for cells and is stored as glycogen in animals or as starch in plants. Additionally, energy can also be stored in the form of fats, which contain high-energy fatty acids. During cellular respiration, these stored forms of energy are converted into usable ATP.
One way is the sun powers the photochemical reaction in plants called photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to produce organic material. When we eat the plant, or when we eat an animal that has eaten the plant, our bodies use the nutrients to produce energy.
Plants occupy the base of the food chain and provide energy for predators. Due to the energy transfer inefficiencies between trophic levels, there are typically more plants than predators in an ecosystem to sustain the higher trophic levels. Plants also have a high reproductive capacity and can spread rapidly compared to predators.
I'm no expert but thinking back to my high school science courses I believe that light is changed to oyxgen during the photosynthesis process in plants.

Plants store food as starch.
Animals use their stomach and then enzymes to release the energy stored in food. This energy is formed into high energy compounds like adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
plants store their food in their leaves, roots and stems. they make their food by photosynthesis: carbon dioxide + water (+ light energy) = Glucose + oxygen
Photosynthesis is the act of trapping the light energy from the sun and turning it into chemical energy in the molecule starch. The energy it traps comes from high energy photons.
Owls generate energy through the food they eat. The amount of energy stored in an owl's body depends on factors such as the type and amount of food it consumes, its metabolism, and its activity level. Overall, owls have high metabolisms to support their hunting and flying activities.
Potential energy.
Cells use energy from food to make high-energy compounds such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration. This process involves breaking down glucose and other nutrients to release energy that is stored in ATP molecules for various cellular activities.
Mitochondria uses energy from food to make high energy compounds that the cell can use to power growth, development, and movement. Chloroplasts use energy from sunlight to make energy rich food.
"Gravitational potential" or just "potential" energy.
Energy is stored in glucose. It is the fuel for respiration
Sugarcane stores food in its stalks. The stalks contain a high concentration of sucrose, which is the primary source of energy for the plant. This stored sugar is used for growth and reproduction, as well as providing energy during times of stress.
Voles get energy from their diet, which mainly consists of plants, seeds, and grains. They have high metabolic rates and constantly forage for food to meet their energy needs. Additionally, they have efficient digestive systems that help extract nutrients from their food to provide them with energy.
