Carbon. That is why organic chemistry is often called carbon chemistry.
Candles contain organic compounds with low melting points.
Heterotrophic because it needs to ingest other organisms to produce the necessary organic compounds for life functions. Autotrophs can make their own organic compounds from inorganic compounds which mollusk, such as squids, cannot do.
All organic compounds contain carbon.
Carbon is necessary in formation of proteins,carbohydrate and fats. These are used in used in formation of cytoskeleton, enzymes,hormones and regulation of physiology of body.
Organic solvents, which are non-polar cannot dissolve polar compounds, such as ionic compounds.

Humans aren't producers indeed, they are consumers. They cannot synthesize the organic compounds they need to survive (unlike, for example, plants, that can synthesize their own organic compounds thanks to photosynthesis). Consumers don't have the ability to make organic compounds from inorganic compounds, so they rely, directly or indirectly, on the ability of producers to do that.
Heterotoph
Yes vitamins are organic substances. In fact organic compounds which are absolutely necessary for body but which cannot be synthesised by the body and are obtained from diet are called vitamins.
I believe it is an heterotroph.
Organic Chemistry is important because most reactions in Biology are organic reactions. Organic Chemistry is the study of structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds. Biology is the study of biological organisms and processes. All biological organisms and processes are created, maintained and changed through chemical processes and are made up of chemical compounds. Without an understanding organic chemistry one cannot accurately and fully understand biology.

Yes, Paramecium is heterotrophic.It has no chlorophyll or other means of synthesizing organic matter, such as glucose, from inorganic compounds like carbon dioxide and water. So it cannot be autotrophic.It must obtain organic compounds from other organisms, and is therefore heterotrophic.
All organic compounds contain carbon.
