ULTIMATE ENERGY SOURCE - SUN

The sun is the main source of energy on this planet. The light energy from the sun is transduced by plants into chemical energy. They trap this light energy in the chemical bonds of organic molecules, like in glucose.

And when we eat them, we break these bonds of organic molecules and derive the energy. Our cells use a similar mechanism for storing this energy. We store it in the chemical bonds of ATP [Adenosine triphosphate] and other compounds.
