The organism that provides evidence that matter and energy can be cycled through an ecosystem without sunlight is:
**a lanternfish on the Atlantic Ocean floor.**
Lanternfish are known to inhabit deep ocean environments where sunlight does not penetrate, yet they are part of a bioluminescent ecosystem and participate in various energy cycles, including those involving chemosynthesis and the consumption of organic material that comes from upper layers of the ocean.
