a snake lying on a sunny rock to keep warm
a rabbit using energy from food it has eaten to run
a bean plant making its own food to grow

Answer 1

A bean plant making its own food to grow.

Plants use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into chemical energy (stored in sugars). The other examples involve heat or using chemical energy already stored in food/wood.
