no it can not be recyled because matter can not be recycled so it cant be either

What best describes what happens to energy and molecules in a stable ecosystem?
Energy is continuously added to the ecosystem and molecules are recycled.
Because it cannot be recycled ecosystem need a constant supply of?
Energy
What is one major difference between how matter moves through an ecosystem and how energy moves through an ecosystem?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
Why does energy flow through an ecosystem rather than be recycled in it?
All energy comes from the sun, and that the ultimate fate of all energy in ecosystems is to be lost as heat. Energy does not recycle!! since the energy is not returned to the sun.
What are five different models that each help explain how matter and energy move through an ecosystem?
Water carbon nitrogen
Which component of a stable ecosystem can not be recycled?
energy

Energy
How does the way that matter flows through an ecosystem different from the way that energy flows?
Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
What best describes the flow of energy and the movement of chemical compounds in an ecosystem?
The flow of energy through an ecosystem is described as one-way or linear. This means that energy enters the ecosystem and passes through it without being recycled. Energy enters in the from of light (via photosynthesis) and leaves as heat. Heat is not used as a source of energy by living organisms. Chemical compounds can be recycled, so their movement is cyclical in an ecosystem. The same atoms are used over and over again, so your body will contain atoms that were in the bodies of dinosaurs, for example.

How are the movement of energy and the movement of chemicals in ecosystem different?
Energy is not recycled, it flows in and out in a unidirection. Chemical energy enters as light energy and is produced by producers and leaves the ecosystem as heat.
How does energy flow through the Chesapeake Bay Ecosystem?
How does energy flow through an ecosystem?
Is energy in an ecosystem recycled?
yes,because according to law of conservation of energy "energy can niether be created nor can be distroyed"
How does the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem differ from the flow of energy in an ecosystem?
The flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional and is not cyclic. It is represented in a flowchart form. The flow of nutrients in an ecosystem is cyclic like a water cycle. An example for flow of energy is :- sun --- producer --- primary consumer --- secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer --- decomposer. The energy remained in the is very little and it is released as heat. An example for flow of nutrients is :- air, water, soil --- producer --- primary consumer ----secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer ---- decomposer ---- air, water, soil--- and so on (cyclic)
What would happen if there was energy added to an ecosystem or nutrients stop being recycled?
