The processes that help all living things obtain the energy they need are photosynthesis and respiration. photosynthesis capture the sun light and use it to combine the inorganic raw materials (carbon dioxide and water) to form ( the organic compound) glucose and oxygen.the energy that is stored in the chemical bonds of glucose is released by the process of cellular respiration.The energy is released and again stored in special molecules called ATP, the form of energy used by all organisms.
