Answer:

ATP.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Adenosine triphosphate - ATP, is a molecule that carries energy in stored form.
  • ATP is the energy currency of the cell, and it is formed in plant cells from a process called photophosphorylation in which a phosphate group is added to a molecule(ADP-Adenosine diphosphate) using energy from light. All living organisms weather it is plants, animals, microbes etc. uses ATP.
  • In Photosynthesis; plants, few species of bacteria and some protistans use sunlight as energy source and produces glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
  • This glucose formed in photosynthesis can be converted into pyruvate and further to carbon dioxide which releases ATP by cellular respiration.

Result: Plant synthesize ATP which is main source of energy.
