Heat from the Earth's core and radiation from the Sun is transferred to the surface of the Earth by conduction. Contact of the atmosphere with these warm surfaces transfers thermal energy, which then heats up the rest of the air through convection
Certain elements are required in large quantities, and others are required in small amounts by the body, but both are essential for the survival of the cells. The cells which are required in large amounts are called as macronutrients, while the ones required in small quantities are called as micronutrients, or trace elements.
Hence, the answer is trace elements or micronutrients.
I believe ATP is the compound that does most of the work to carry out cell processes.
