Energy in its most general definition can be thought of as the ability to do work. The type of work can vary-mechanical, electrical, thermal, nuclear, and so on. There is a good Wikipedia entry under Energy which is worth study.

What is the scientific definition of complex systems?
According to Wikipedia, The study of complex systems investigates relationships between parts that give rise to the collective behaviors of a system and how the system interacts with its environment.
What do you call organisms that obtain energy and give it back to the earth?
Well,that is basically what a plant does...so a plant is a producer... so it is called a producer!! :) A more scientific term would be an autotroph.
What is the definition of energy?
Energy is the ability to cause change in matter or the environment.Energy is a force that can create a reaction or motion.It is hard to give a definition that is both accurate and easy to understand. It is sometimes defined as "the ability to do work", but this really doesn't cover all cases. There is a certain magnitude, called "energy", that can be calculated for physical systems; this magnitude is known to be conserved, meaning that it doesn't increase or decrease over time. For a more detailed explanation, it is best to read the Wikipedia article on "Energy", or some similar overview.
Do apples give you energy?
Yes. They contain fructose which is a sugar.
Does chocolate give you quick energy?

This can be answered on many different levels. They both burn and give out a good amount of heat is probably the simplest. In more scientific terms, they both contain chemical energy which is released when they burn. More practically, they both ignite easily and burn quite cleanly.
Electrons with higher energy are located where?
It depends on your definition of high energy. Electrons close to the nucleus have a high positive energy and will require a lot of energy to elevate them to higher orbitals. Electrons far away from the nucleus have the potential to give off a lot of energy falling to inner orbitals.
