A cell can't always immediately use all the energy it gets. If they can not use their energy it would be a huge waste to just get rid of it. So they store it for a time when they may not have the required nutrients around to make any more. To sum up it allows them some degree of starvation prevention.
i dont know either but ill put answer choices so people can figure it out and answer it for us.
1)a cell cant always immediately use all the energy it gets(its this one i think)
2)an organism often has times when no energy is used (not this one, i already proved it to be wrong)
3)a cell can release only stored energy
4)a cell cannot create energy and must get it from elsewhere in the organism
Organisms need a way to store energy because...
A cell can't always immediately use all the energy it gets.
Organisms need to store energy because they use it to play out their every day routine of finding food to eat, eating, mating, and surviving, which all require energy.

What are organisms that must eat food for energy called?
Heterotrophic.
Identify characteristics that organisms must have to carry on the processes of life?
Organisms must have cells , must reproduce, respond to stimulus and reproduce to carry on the processes of life. They also ought to have energy to perform the various processes.
How do plants release energy during cell respiration?
Organisms, such as plants, can trap the energy in sunlight through photosynthesis and store it in the chemical bonds of carbohydrate molecules. The principal carbohydrate formed through photosynthesis is glucose. Other types of organisms, such as animals, fungi, protozoa, and a large portion of the bacteria, are unable to perform this process. Therefore, these organisms must rely on the carbohydrates formed in plants to obtain the energy necessary for their metabolic processes. ^__* c;
Organisms must maintain what type of internal environment?
Oxygen. But an organism will not survive long on just oxygen.
Why organisms must have food?
Because food is a source of energy and it also supplies cells with oxygen
Organisms that must feed on other organisms for energy are known as?
Consumers ^_^
What is an organic compound called that is used to store energy?
All living organisms need energy to survive. This energy comes from the foods that they eat. However, in order to meet the demands of energy required throughout the day the body of the organism must store its energy for use later on. Lipids and carbohydrates are the compounds used in these organisms to store energy.
Organisms that capture light energy from the sun and transform it into food are called?
An autotroph is an organism that is able to produce its own food. In contrast, a heterotroph must consume other organisms for energy.
In an automobile a 12 Volt battery simultaneously supplies electrical energy for the ignition lights and radio. This electrical circuit must be?
The battery must be able to provide enough power, to make all this work. Also, it must be able to store a reasonable amount of energy, in order to last for a reasonable time.
Why must a producer be at base of every food chain?
Something can't come from nothing. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted and transferred. Producers are the only living organisms of earth that are able to convert sunlight to energy. If it was not at the bottom of the energy pyramid, the organisms below it would not exist because they were not getting energy from the producers.
Why must your body be able to store sugar?
Because if we can't be able to store sugar we will die
What do you call organisms that must obtain energy from food?
They are called consumers.
What are organisms that must eat food for energy called?
Heterotrophic.
What must organisms be able to obtain in order to surive?
They must obtain food,shelter,and water
What is an organism that must eat others?
An organism that eats other organisms is called a consumer.
Can bacteria eat?
yes, all organisms must eat in order to attain energy.
Organisms can't create the energy they need to live they must capture it from the environment?
true
