Answer:

Cellular Respiration

Step-by-step explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants and phytoplankton capture light energy from the Sun and use it to build sugars (chemical energy) out of carbon dioxide and water. As a result, energy from the Sun is essentially stored in the chemical bonds of the sugar molecules.

Plant or animal cells perform cellular respiration to break the bonds of sugar molecules and release the energy stored there.

This energy is transported within cells in the form of ATP.
