Question

Energy flow is cyclic

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in an online quiz.

The doubt is from Energy Flow in the Ecosystem in section Ecosystems of Energy Management

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

To explain: Energy flow is a natural process that has energy associated with the movement. The energy is passed from one organism to another in the food chain but unlike water and few elements like nitrogen and carbon, energy doesn’t return in a cycle.
