- BPyramid of energy in pond ecosystem
- CPyramid of biomass in grassland
- DPyramid of biomass in sea
Correct answer
D. Pyramid of biomass in sea
Step-by-step solution
The pyramid of biomass in a sea or aquatic ecosystem is generally inverted because the biomass of fishes (primary and secondary consumers) far exceeds that of phytoplankton (producers).
The pyramid of number in a grassland is upright.
The pyramid of energy is always upright in all ecosystems because energy is lost as heat at each trophic level.
The pyramid of biomass in a grassland is upright.
Answer: Pyramid of biomass in sea
