The process in photosynthesis that uses energy from the sun is splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. This occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, where sunlight energy is harnessed to split water molecules, releasing oxygen as a byproduct and providing electrons and protons for the synthesis of energy-rich molecules.

ATP is a usable form of energy. It provides energy for various cellular processes but is not typically described as being stored for long periods, as it is used almost immediately by cells.

The remaining energy from glucose molecules, after some is stored in ATP during glycolysis, is released through the Electron Transport Chain. This process occurs in the mitochondria and is responsible for using the electrons from reduced coenzymes (like NADH and FADH2) generated in earlier stages (including glycolysis) to produce more ATP and release energy in the form of heat and other byproducts.
