Question 8 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Which of the following is not true about energy in ecosystems?

Answer
A
Energy is transferred between organisms.
B
Energy is recycled after flowing through ecosystems.
C
Most energy enters ecosystems as sunlight.
D
Ecosystems require a continuous influx of new energy.

Explanation

Energy moves from one organism to another through feeding, and most energy enters ecosystems as sunlight. However, energy flows through an ecosystem and is eventually dissipated as heat; unlike nutrients, it is not recycled. Therefore, the statement that energy is recycled after flowing through ecosystems is not true.
