Solution

The given statement is incorrect.
The correct statement is-
'The flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional'.
The energy that is captured by the autotrophs does not revert back to the solar input and the energy which passes to the herbivores does not come back to autotrophs. As it moves progressively through the various trophic levels it is no longer available to the previous level.
