Do ecosystems follow the First Law of Thermodynamics?

Step-by-step solution

The unidirectional flow of energy from the sun to producers and then to consumers in an ecosystem is in keeping with the First Law of Thermodynamics. :. Except for the deep sea hydro-thermal ecosystem, sun is the only source of energy for all ecosystems on Earth. Of the incident solar radiation less than 50 per cent of it is photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). We know that plants and photosynthetic bacteria (autotrophs), fix Sun’s radiant energy to make food from simple inorganic materials. Plants capture on
