Vedclass · Answer

(C) In an ecosystem,energy enters from the sun and is captured by producers (plants) through photosynthesis.This energy is then transferred to consumers (herbivores,carnivores,etc.) through the food chain.According to the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ laws of thermodynamics,energy is lost as heat at each trophic level and cannot be reused or returned to the sun.Therefore,the flow of energy in an ecosystem is always $Unidirectional$ (one-way).

The flow of energy is .................... from the sun to producers and then to consumers.
