Answer:
Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem, but the main difference is that the nutrient cycle is recycled in the ecosystem while the energy flow is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. In the ecosystem, energy comes from the sun.

Answer:
Matter flows through the ecosystem in the form of the non-living nutrients essential to living organisms. When a living organism dies, nutrients are released back into the soil. So you see, matter is recycled in the ecosystem. Unlike matter, energy is not recycled through the system.
