Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
A food chain is a linear, simplified sequence showing the transfer of energy and matter from one organism to another through consumption. A food web is a more realistic, complex network of interconnected food chains, illustrating the multiple feeding relationships and pathways of energy flow in an ecosystem. While nutrients (matter) are continuously recycled in an ecosystem through biogeochemical cycles, energy flows unidirectionally and is eventually lost as heat; it is not recycled. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
