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.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered the most concentrated source of stored energy in cells. ATP stores energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds that can be readily broken to release energy for cellular processes.
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 that store food as sugar include sugar cane, sugar beets, agave, and sweet potatoes. These plants accumulate high levels of sugars in their tissues, which serves as a source of energy for growth and reproduction. Sugars like glucose and sucrose are typically stored in specialized structures such as tubers, rhizomes, or the stems of these plants.
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.
Cells use energy from food to produce high-energy compounds like ATP through the process of cellular respiration. These high-energy compounds are then utilized by the cell for various activities and functions, such as muscle movement, cell division, and synthesis of biomolecules. The energy stored in these compounds is released when needed to drive cellular processes and maintain cell functions.
Energy is stored in glucose. It is the fuel for respiration
"Gravitational potential" or just "potential" energy.
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.
