The correct answer is: 1 and 3 both
In an ecosystem cycling of energy and nutrient is a coupled process, which occurs simultaneously. Movement of energy is always unidirectional and occurs from producers to consumers. An ecosystem may function without macroconsumer but producer and microconsumer or decomposers are necessary for its functioning.
