Energy is continuously being degraded - converted from useful energy to less useful energy. We get our energy from the Sun, which burns its nuclear fuel (hydrogen), and radiates the energy into space. The energy Earth receives will again be radiated into space, sooner or later. From there it gets diluted; most of it won't ever return to the Sun.

In what way does friction always act?

And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!

Why does matter follow a circular pathway while energy flows in a linear fashion in the biosphere?

Matter follows a circular pathway as matter is never created nor destroyed, it just constantly changes form from one thing to the next to the next and back to the first in a circular fashion as its a continuous never ending cycle. Energy however also never created nor destroyed is degraded with every use, constantly decreasing downward in quality therefore following a linear fashion as energy follows high to low as a line does
