The PCR amplification process most frequently employs an enzyme known as Taq DNA polymerase.

Taq Polymerase, or Taq DNA  polymerase, is a biological catalyst that helps nucleotides join together to form DNA. Taq polymerase is a protein that is 832-amino acids long and has a molecular weight of 94 kilodaltons. It is a homolog of the Pol I DNA polymerase that is found in <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E.coli</em>) (approx). This enzyme can withstand temperatures up to 95 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes before reaching its half-life. At the ideal temperature of 72 degrees Celsius, the rate of nucleotide incorporation ranges from two to four kilobases per minute.  

Polymerase chain reaction operates at a very high temperature. At this temperature, Taq polymerase is able to carry out its function efficiently.

GarryVolchara [31]
The sun is the primary source of energy for living things mostly organisms like plants and ecosystems. But if you're talking about the bonds inside organic molecules, which are carbohydrates. With this, the energy from the sun gets trapped within a chemical bond and still relates to photosynthesis in plants.
