Energy from the sun is trapped in glucose during photosynthesis.

Here's a simplified explanation:

* Photosynthesis is the process plants use to make their own food.

* They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen.

* The energy from the sun is absorbed by chlorophyll, a pigment in plants that gives them their green color.

* This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which stores the captured energy.

So, the glucose produced during photosynthesis acts like a "battery" that stores the energy from the sun.
