Step-by-step solution

The graphical representation of biomass or bioproductivity of a food chain or ecosystem for each trophic level is called ecological pyramid. Pyramid of energy represent the flow of energy and the amount of energy at each trophic level. It is always upright. Pyramid of numbers shows the count of population in each level for that ecosystem irrespective of the biomass content. Depending on the type of ecosystem the pyramid can be upright or not. For ecosystem having a single tree as producer and aquatic ecosystem, the
