Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process where plants and other organisms convert energy from the sun into a chemical energy that through cellular respiration can be later released in order to fuel the organism's metabolic activities.

The energy which is stored in the form of sugar is broken down into starch entering the mitochondria to produce energy. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds. To obtain the energy, organisms take energy-rich compounds such as glucose and breaks them down to release their energy. The organism traps the released energy and stores it in a form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
