Explanation:
Energy is usually absorbed during photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight(energy source), water and carbon dioxide:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Sunlight
Sunlight supplies solar energy that is used to converted the chemical species into glucose that stores chemical energy.
Respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. In this reaction, oxygen gas combines with glucose to produce energy with water and carbon dioxide as by products. The energy stored in photosynthesis is released during respiration.
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O ↑ energy
