Answer 1

Sunlight is just the energy source plants use to drive chemical reactions in the same way we use electricity to do lots of stuff. They use that energy to break down water and CO2 and use the carbon, oxygen and hydrogen that comes out of that to make sugar. The sugar is made of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, not sunlight.
