Answer 1

The correct response is: Energy flows in one direction, and matter cycles through the environment.

In ecosystems, energy from the sun is captured by producers (like plants) and flows through the food chain in one direction (from producers to consumers to decomposers). Meanwhile, matter (such as nutrients and water) is recycled through processes like decomposition and nutrient cycling.
