Vedclass · Answer

(A) Energy flow in an ecosystem is always unidirectional. It moves from producers (plants) to primary consumers (herbivores) and then to secondary/tertiary consumers (carnivores). Energy is never transferred back from higher trophic levels to lower trophic levels, and a significant amount of energy is lost as heat at each transfer, as per the $10\%$ law.
