Heterotrophs
An organism that obtains energy directly from inorganic molecules is called a chemosynthetic organism. These organisms convert chemicals like hydrogen sulfide or ammonia into energy through chemical reactions, instead of relying on light for energy like photosynthetic organisms. Chemosynthetic organisms can be found in environments such as hydrothermal vents in the ocean floor.
Energy transfers from one organism to another by organisms eating other organisms in a food chain or web.

An organism that absorbs food from decayed organisms and such, are called Decomposers.
The term that refers to the particular way an organism obtains energy is "trophic level." This concept describes the position of an organism in a food chain, indicating its source of energy and nutrients. Organisms at different trophic levels play specific roles in energy transfer within an ecosystem.
