This one of those questions that you have to understand that is the way things go. You have to put gasoline into a car to make it go. The same with ecosystems. The first layer are the producers (gas) and the consumers are the car. Consumers use up the energy and there just isn't anyway to reverse this.
Yes it goes on and on and on in one direction
one path of life
From the sun to plants to herbivores to carnivores to the earth.
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.
Energy in an ecosystem flows in whats called the 10% rule. Meaning, as you move up the pyramid 10% of energy is lost.
Energy pyramid
The trophic pyramid describes the flow of energy through a system from producers all the way up to predators. This is the best model because it follows the rule of ten.

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)
