Answer: Your welcome!

Step-by-step explanation:

All living organisms rely on organic compounds for their carbon and energy needs. Organic compounds are molecules that contain carbon atoms and usually hydrogen, oxygen, and other elements. These organic compounds provide the necessary elements for cellular metabolism and are used to form cell structures and to store energy. Examples of organic compounds used by organisms include carbohydrates (glucose, glycogen, etc.), lipids (fats, oils, etc.), proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA, etc.).
