The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because

energy flows in one direction and nutrients recycle.

energy is limited in the biosphere and nutrients are always available.

nutrients flow in one direction and energy recycles.

energy forms chemical compounds and nutrients are lost as heat.
