In an ecosystem, matter is recycled through biogeochemical cycles, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles, where substances are reused by various organisms. On the other hand, energy flows through the ecosystem in a unidirectional manner, typically entering as sunlight and being transferred between trophic levels before being lost as heat.
No, the movement of matter requires energy transfer. Energy is needed to overcome any resistance to movement, such as friction or inertia. Without energy transfer, matter would remain stationary or at rest.
The movement of matter due to differences in density and the transfer of energy that results from this movement is called convection.
A wave is a rhythmic movement that carries energy through matter or space. Waves can be found in various forms, such as sound waves, light waves, and ocean waves, and they transfer energy without transferring matter.
Kinetic energy is the form of energy in matter associated with the movement of particles. It is directly proportional to an object's mass and the square of its velocity.
Photosynthesis is not involved in the movement of matter and energy between reservoirs. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose, but it is not directly involved in the movement of matter and energy between different reservoirs in an ecosystem.
No, the movement of matter requires energy transfer. Energy is needed to overcome any resistance to movement, such as friction or inertia. Without energy transfer, matter would remain stationary or at rest.
Matter is anything that has a mass such as a cell or structure. Energy is derived from matter through catabolic pathways.

Unlike the one way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems.
Photosynthesis is not involved in the movement of matter and energy between reservoirs. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose, but it is not directly involved in the movement of matter and energy between different reservoirs in an ecosystem.
Energy must be transformed within ecosystems so that it is made available to other organisms. Energy is produced by producing organisms at the lowest trophic level, and then moves up to higher trophic levels to other consuming organisms.
