Question

give reasons.
a) Energy flow through on ecosystem is ' one way' .
​

Answer 1

Answer:

energy flow through an ecosystem is one way, because when the energy enters the plants (from the sun) during photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on from one organism to another in a food chain but it does not come back. Thus energy flow in an ecosystem is unindirectional.

Answer 2

Answer:

The energy that is obtained by the producers from the sun does not revert to the Sun and the energy passed to the herbivores does not return to the producers. The energy always moves to the next trophic level in a unidirectional way. Therefore, the flow of energy through an ecosystem is always 'one way'.
