I am sure that "Food Chain" and "Symbiosis" are been tackled in Grades 3 to 6 or in your Biology class.
Remember that every living creature on Earth is very important. From the tiniest creatures like the ants up to the gigantic animals like the whale have reasons to live on Earth.
What makes mosquitoes important?
a. mosquito =>grasshopper(insectivore and it also acts as pollinators) => propagation of plants
b. larva => butterfly(insectivore and act as pollinators) => propagation of plants
c. mosquito => lizard => frogs (remember that mosquitoes are not the only food of frogs. They too have other food preferences) => Food for other animals. Nurses use frogs to study its internal parts.
Value you can consider:
Don't look at the book by its cover.

They keep the world population balanced, i guess.
Over the years they've killed millions of people through the spread of diseases like West Nile, Ross River Virus & several kinds of encephalitis.
If it weren't for mosquitoes, old age, disease & natural disasters, the world might be overpopulated by now, with the world food supply at an all time low.
And to think in a more positive light, mosquitoes are sort of the world's best assassins. Maybe when God created them all he really wanted was an easy was to be able to kill off all the Hitlers and Saddams of the world. What better way than to make the killer a quiet, inconspicuously annoying little pest? It helps to think that somewhere in the world, a mosquito just infected the next Osama bin Laden with a deadly incurable strain of malaria.

Mosquitoes do not "give" people anything ... except malaria, yellow fever, etc.
They have no "use". I mean, what is the "use" of a sparrow, or a moose, or a trout? What to they "give in return" for existing?
Organisms exist to perpetuate their genes by breeding. Any mechanism that permits an individual to survive to breeding age, and to then create fertile offspring, is a successful one, and will be evolutionarily selected for.
If all the host epecies of mosquitoes (generally mammals) were to die off through some unspeakable catastrophe, then mosquitoes would also become extinct, because they have specialised to rely on them as their food source.

You could ask that about many things.Your studies are not all together factual however.It's only the female mosquitos that bite.They do it because they need a special protein in the blood for nourishment to lay eggs.Males only get their nourishment from nectar,they don't even have the mouth parts for sucking blood.

Just curious... why do you capitalize random words in your sentences? I'm asking in a friendly way only. :)
As for mosquitos, they were not created by any deity. They evolved just like all plant and animal life did on Earth (and continues to do so).
Peace.

Science says that itis for the balance of nature though I don't really understand how...as for the purpose of mosquitoes, they serve as food for other insects and animals like lizards.

humans have only been here for a wink of an eye, evolutionarily speaking. Animals don't complain, only humans understand pestilence. Why did god create man? he is the only species on earth that I know of, that will inevitably destroy itself (and earth). Thats much worse than .0003 ozs. of blood loss and a little bump on my arm!
