Question

the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem is only one way transport and justify the corrections
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Nutrients move in a cyclic form as there should be a balance of nutrients in different resources of the environment. These nutrients even if used are restored by these biogeochemical cycles. Biogeochemical cycles help in the flow of nutrients from abiotic factors to biotic factors and viceversa to maintain an interrelation ship among biotic and abiotic factors. Energy flow in an environment is unidirectional. Sun is the primary source of energy to all the living organisms on earth. According to 10% energy transfer law, energy is transferred from one trophic level to another but it cannot be obtained back by the lower trophic levels from the higher trophic levels in the food chain. A pyramid of energy depicts the energy flow form one trophic level to another trophic level in the food chain. According to 10 percent law, 90% of the energy captured from the previous trophic level is lost as heat to the environment and only 10 percent is made available to the next trophic level. Energy flow is from environmental sunlight to producers, producers to primary consumers, primary consumers to secondary consumers and so on.
