Answer:

Energy flows in a one-way direction i.e. unidirectional flow

Explanation:

Matter and energy both pass through an ecosystem as organisms feed on one another. However, as rightly emphasized in this question, matter in form of elements such as water, nitrogen, phosphorus etc. moves in different directions and is recycled within and between ecosystems through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.

Contrarily to how matter is recycled in an ecosystem i.e. within and between, ENERGY only flows in one direction. Energy enters an ecosystem in form of light (sun) and is passed down from one trophic level to another starting from the producers. This unidirectional pattern of energy flow differentiates energy flow from matter recycling.

Arrange the events in the life cycle of mosses in the flowchart below. Start the life cycle with the mature sporophyte stage in
labwork [276]

Answer:

Life cycle of a moss

Explanation:

LIFE CYCLE OF A MOSS FROM MATURED SPOROPHYTE STAGE

An embryo further develops into a pear-shaped  sporangium, which is the *sporophyte  stage of the plant*. The sporangium  contains spore sacs, each of which is the spore mother cell that undergoes meiotic division  to form four spores,The spores are released and germination

takes  place giving  rise to a protonema, which develops into a new gametophyte plant. The gametophyte  generation or haploid phase of the moss is from the production  of haploid spores after meiosis  to the period just before fusion of the haploid antherizoid or haploid ovum. The sporophyte generation or diploid  phase is from the diploid  mother cells just before meiosis.

Examples of moss plants include Funaria hygrometrica, Polytrichum commune, Barbuda Indica.
