Question: Which ecological pyramid is always upright?
Options:
Pyramid of biomass
Pyramid of number
Pyramid of energy
All of these
-Pyramids of biomass and number can sometimes be inverted, especially in aquatic ecosystems where producers (like phytoplankton) are small and quickly consumed by larger consumers.
🔑Key Points:
-The pyramid of Energy is always upright.
-The pyramid is a pictorial representation of the relationship between different organisms in an ecosystem.
-In every ecosystem, the pyramid of energy is always Upright.
Important Points
–Â Pyramid of Energy:-
-The pyramid of energy depicts a flow of energy in the ecosystem.
-Grassland Ecosystem:-
-In a grassland ecosystem, the vegetation is dominated by grasses and herbs.Â
-Temperate grasslands and savanna grasslands are some examples of grassland ecosystems.
-The grassland ecosystem occupies about 10 percent of the earth’s surface which includes tropical and temperate grassland.
• ​​ 🛑Additional Information::
-​Inverted Pyramid:-
-When the biomass of carnivores is high as compared to produces.
-The biomass pyramid is inverted.Â
-In the pond ecosystem, the biomass pyramid is inverted because larger fish has more biomass as compared to many small fishes.
