What type of ecological pyramid would be obtained with following data? Secondary consumer : 120 g Primary consumer : 60 g Primary producer : 10 g

Options

  1. AUpright pyramid of numbers
  2. BPyramid of energy
  3. CInverted pyramid of biomass
  4. DUpright pyramid of biomass

Correct answer

C. Inverted pyramid of biomass

Step-by-step solution

The inverted pyramid of biomass Biomass is the amount of living material in an organism. The pyramids of biomass represent the relationship between different trophic levels in terms of biomass. In grassland and forest ecosystems, there is generally a gradual decrease in the biomass of organisms at successive trophic levels from the producers to the consumers. Their pyramid of biomass is upright. In an aquatic ecosystem, the producers are small organisms with the least biomass and the biomass gradually increase towa
