Question

Which one of the following pyramid will be always inverted?

• A. Pyramid of biomass on land
• B. Pyramid of energy
• C. Pyramid of biomass in sea
• D. Pyramid of number

Hint:

{Only pyramid of biomass in sea is always inverted}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding ecological pyramids.
Ecological pyramids represent the number, biomass, or energy at each trophic level.
Step 2: Biomass in aquatic ecosystems.
In marine ecosystems, producers (phytoplankton) have less biomass compared to consumers (zooplankton and fishes).
Step 3: Resulting pyramid shape.
Due to low standing crop of producers, the biomass pyramid in sea becomes inverted.
