The flow of energy of food chain is unidirectional why |
|
Answer» Energy which passes through the autotrops does not revert back to the solar radiations and energy which passes to the herbivores does not came back to the autotrops. As energy passes through each successive trophic level and is no longer available to previous level. Hence energy flow is considered as unidirectional. The flow of energy in food chains is unidirectional. The energy which passes to the herbivores does not come back to the autotrophs.\xa0The energy that is captured by the autotrophs does not revert back to the Sun. Therefore, in the food chain, the energy moves progressively through various trophic levels. This energy is no longer available to the previous trophic level. Thus, the flow of energy in a food chain is unidirectional. |
