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.

blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>

The statement that is true regarding the reactions that occur in the Calvin cycle is that it consumes energy.

<h3>What is Calvin cycle?</h3>

Calvin cycle of photosynthesis is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms.

The Calvin cycle also called light independent or dark reaction is the second stage of the photosynthetic process. It is so called because it does not require light to occur.

The Calvin cycle makes use of the products of the light stage (ATP and NADPH) to synthesize carbohydrates.

However, the series of reaction is an energy consuming one, which makes use of ATP to occur.

Therefore, the statement that is true regarding the reactions that occur in the Calvin cycle is that it consumes energy.
