NEET Botany Energy Flow MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about energy flow in ecosystems is correct?
Energy flow in ecosystems is unidirectional, moving from producers to consumers.
All energy from the sun is captured by plants for photosynthesis.
The biomass of organisms increases at each successive trophic level.
Decomposers do not rely on dead biomass as an energy source.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Energy flow in ecosystems is indeed unidirectional, moving from producers to consumers, as stated in the context. However, not all solar energy is captured by plants, and biomass decreases at higher trophic levels. Decomposers primarily rely on dead biomass for energy.
