Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.

Statement I: In many aquatic ecosystems, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans, the grazing food chain (GFC) is actually the major conduit for energy flow, not the detritus food chain (DFC). 

Statement II: In terrestrial ecosystems, while both the grazing food chain (GFC) and the detritus food chain (DFC) play important roles in energy flow, it is generally recognized that a larger fraction of energy flows through the detritus food chain compared to the grazing food chain.
