How does a plant maintain the organised energy transfer processes,
such as with high energy phocphate molecules, in darkness?  Can this
only occur for the limited time until the energy stores are delpleted?

Yes, until depleted. Photosynthesis is just an EXTRA process present
in plants, producing sugers, where animals have to eat them. So, the
fuel consumption part is the same in animals and plants.

Pretty much the same way as an animal, by respiration.

Yes.
