this answer might be right but if i were you i would do some further research and see if this is correct

NEW ANSWER:

energy moves through an ecosystem when an organism is eaten. As you go up each trophic level, 10% of energy is transferred up. Matter on the other hand, is neither lost or gained. so it just moves up the trophic levels

How does the flow of nutrients in an ecosystem differ from the flow of energy in an ecosystem?

The flow of energy in an ecosystem is unidirectional and is not cyclic. It is represented in a flowchart form. The flow of nutrients in an ecosystem is cyclic like a water cycle. An example for flow of energy is :- sun --- producer --- primary consumer --- secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer --- decomposer. The energy remained in the is very little and it is released as heat. An example for flow of nutrients is :- air, water, soil --- producer --- primary consumer ----secondary consumer --- tertiary consumer ---- decomposer ---- air, water, soil--- and so on (cyclic)
