Plants primarily use chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts, to capture sunlight. Through the process of photosynthesis, they convert carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. The key materials involved in this transformation are sunlight, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2).
chemical energy
The organelle responsible for breaking down sugars for cellular energy in plants is the mitochondria. Through a process called cellular respiration, mitochondria convert sugars into ATP, which is the primary energy source for cells.

They need it as energy for their bodies. They take sunlight and oxygen to do photosynthesis, and then get ATP, (energy in a form that plants can use) to live, and flourish. Without it, they'd die.
chemical energy
Plants get their energy from sunlight which in turn makes glucose and sugars.
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.
Animals get their energy from other animals that have eaten plants or from plants themselves. Plants get their energy to produce sugars from the sun.

Plants use light as their source of energy to make carbohydrates such as sugars.
Plants harvest the chemical energy from the sugars they produced in photosynthesis. They have mitochondria and are capable of running cellular respiration. Cellular respiration breaks down macromolecules (like sugars) and turns it into usable energy for the cell.
Plants harness the energy from our sun to create chlorophyll from the process of photosynthesis. Plants use the energy of sunlight to synthesize the hexose sugars by photosynthesis in their chloroplasts.
Photosyntesis
Energy.
The energy in the sugars that yeasts consume originates from photosynthesis, a process used by plants and some microorganisms to convert sunlight into chemical energy. During photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. When yeasts metabolize these sugars, they release energy, effectively utilizing the solar energy initially captured by plants. Thus, the energy in the sugars can be traced back to the sun through the process of photosynthesis.
