T30 q24 transfer of energy is always unidirectional from one trophic level to another . 

Food chain and food webs are theoretical concepts of understanding energy transfers across different organisms,and w.r.t food chain(theoritical definition) it is unidirectional. Whereas a food web may incorporate multiple energy pyramids( both deutrius and grazing) which could have multidirectional energy flow interlinked with each other.

Please provide the source for this information

see this.It incorporates both grazing as well as detritus food chains as its sub-components. Doesn't it seem to be multidirectional?
Moreover it was to be referenced w.r.t comparative unidirectional aspects of food chain as a concept.



Sir in this article , no where it is mentioned that foodweb has multidirection energy flow. 

Energy (as a concept ) flows in the direction from lower trophic level to higher trophic level ( in both detritus and grazing food chain) 

food web is to depict interconnection of different food chainsand  not “multidirection” energy flow . Even in food web energy flow from lower to higher trophic level only

The multi-directional used in the question statement was not pertaining to trophic levels according to me. It was in the other context. "In the food web, energy transfer is possible in all directions whereas in the food chain it is unidirectional." We need to read the whole statement together to understand that the words "all directions" does not imply " energy flow in a single food chain". It is not implying that energy flow can occur from higher trophic levels to lower trophic levels. Rather, it is used to imply the existence of energy flow along different food chains a single organism is a part of.
