Which one is an inverted pyramid ?

Read the following statement . With respect to the ecological pyramid , mark the correct statements. a . In most of the ecosystems , pyramids of number , energy and biomass are upright . b. Producers are generally more in number or biomass than herbivores in an upright pyramid. c. Herbivores are less in number and biomass than carnivores in an inverted pyramid. d. Energy content is higher at a lower trophic level than that at a higher trophic level.

(a) ''The pyramid of energy is always upright.' Explain. (b) Explain with the help of labelled diagrams, the difference between an upright pyramid of biomass and an inverted pyramid of biomass.

An inverted pyramid of number and an inverted pyramid of biomass are respectively seen in:

Distinguish between (a) Grazing food chain and detritus food chain (b) Production and decomposition (c) Upright and inverted pyramid (d) Food chain and Food web (e) Litter and detritus (f) Primary and secondary productivity .

In an open ocean, the biomass of primary produceres (microscopic algae) is often lower than the biomass of higher trophic levels (zooplanktons and fish), as illustrated below by an inverted pyramid of biomass. How can there be enough food in an open ocean to suppor the higher trophic levels?

Distinguish between upright and inverted pyramid.
