How do energy and matter move in ecosystems a. energy Flows In One Direction and matter cycles through the environment B. matter flows in One Direction and energy Cycles through the environment c. energy and matter flow in One Direction d. energy and matter cycle through the environment

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. Energy flows in one direction and matter cycles through the environment.

In ecosystems, energy typically enters through sunlight (in the case of photosynthetic organisms) and flows through the food chain, moving from producers to consumers and eventually to decomposers. Matter, on the other hand, is recycled within the ecosystem through various biogeochemical cycles, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles.
