Answer:

The flow in an ecosystem is unidirectional.

This is because, the energy transportation at each trophic level leads to reduction in the final energy gradually.

This can be evaluated using the 10%law of Nature.

E.g. Sun>(1%)>Plants>(10%)>Deer(10%)>Lion

..(10000J).....(100J).........(10J)........(1J)...

From the above example, we can understand that the final energy left at the last trophic level is the least and its not advantageous for the next organism due to presence of very low energy.

Thus, we can state that energy must be unidirectional as if it would be bidirectional, then there would be tha lack of energy among the organisms.

This is why, for example, deer cannot eat flesh and similarly, lion cannot eat grass.

I hope it helps ^_^ .... :)
