Organic molecules are the chemicals of life, compounds composed of more than one type of element, that are found in, and produced by, living organisms. The feature that distinguishes an organic from inorganic molecule is that organic contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, whereas inorganic molecules do not. The four major classes of organic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
Metabolism involves ither using energy to build organic molecules or breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored. Organic molecules contain carbon.Therefore, an organism's metabolism is part of Earth's carbon cycle.
build organic molecules
DNA has genetic information to build the organic molecules proteins. These proteins are used within the cell to grow and build.
Cells get energy in general from the use of ATP. ADP is what results from the use of ATP.
Bioaccumulation is what occurs when organisms build organic compounds.
Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide to organic compounds such as sugar (glucose).

build organic molecules
ATP contains a high energy bond which is used to transfer energy inside cells. This energy is then used to form the bonds that build other organic molecules. Once ATP has been used, it reverts to ADP which lacks the high energy bond of ATP. Cellular respiration releases energy from sugars and fats in order to convert ADP back into ATP.
The building blocks of organic molecules are like bricks because they are the foundation. Basic organic molecules are similar to bricks because you need them to build upon.
Biosynthesis
Autotrophs (like plants) make sugars from simple molecules like carbon dioxide with use of solar energy, they synthetise proteines from not-organic nitrogen, so basically they make organic material from not organic particles.Then plant eaters eat plants to gain the sugars, presynthetised amino acids ect. to build their own organisms. Carnivores then feed on plant eaters, because they have less efficient digestive systems and are only able acquire nurishment from other animals' tissues. At the end when an animal dies bacteria and fungi are feeding on the corpse by breaking down organic compounds to simple molecules like carbon dioxide, thus the circle is complete.
