simple organic molecules are not necessary for the life processes of an organism.
The term niche is used to define the role an organism plays within a community.
to use energy
Energy is passed through an ecosystem through the organisms within it. The sun produces all energy within an ecosystem. As the sun produces energy, it is absorbed by the producers (plants) through photosynthesis. These plants are then consumed by other organisms. The energy decreases by 10% as it is being passed from organism to organism. For example, if grass is the producer it absorbs 100% of the energy from the sun. This grass is then consumed by a small herbivore, which receives only 10% of the original energy. Where does the energy go? The energy has been lost through heat, and it was also used to live, grow, and reproduce.
An organism that uses energy to produce its own food supply from inorganic compounds is called an autotroph (within a food chain, it is a producer).

Organisms primarily store energy in the form of chemical bonds. This energy is stored in molecules such as ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and carbohydrates like glucose. When needed, these molecules can be broken down and the energy stored in their bonds can be released and used by the organism.

How is energy moved from one organism to another? A.when one organism chases another organism, energy is movedB.when one organism is close by another organism, energy is movedC.when one organism touches another organism, energy is movedD.when one organism eats another organism, energy is moved

In plants, oxygen is a bi-product of photosynthesis which we(humans and animals) breathe in. Our oxygen is used for respiration and helps with the release of energy within our cells(intra-cellular respiration).
