(A) The amount of living matter (biomass) present at every trophical level is called standing crop (B) Saprophytes are not given any place in ecological pyramids (C ) Ecological pyramid does not account for the same species belonging to two or more trophic levels

Study the following statements and the incorrect ones. (i) Pyramids of energy and yearly biomass production can never be inverted, since this would violate the laws of thermodynamics. (ii) Pyramids of standing crop and numbers can be inverted, since the number of organisms at a time does not indicate the amount of energy flowing throgh the system. (iii) There are certain limitations of ecological pyramids such as they do not take into account the same species belonging to two or more trophic levels. (iv) Saprohytes are not given any place in ecological pyramids even though they play a vital role in the ecosystem.

Which of these is/are limitation/s of ecological pyramids? I. Decomposers are not given any place in ecological pyramids. II. Ecological pyramids do not accommodate a food web. III. Ecological pyramids may be upright or inverted. IV. They don't consider omnivores in two different trophic levels.

(a) What is an ecological pyramid ? Compare the pyramids of energy , biomass and numbers. (b) Write any two limitations of ecological pyramids.

Read the following statements and state how many of them are true ? (P) primary succession , is a very slow process taking thousands of years for the climax to be reached . (Q) All succession whether taking place in water or land proceeds ti a similar climax community, the mesic. (R) As succession proceeds, the number and types of animals and decomposers also change. (S) Saprophytes are not given any place in the ecological pyramids as they play no role in the ecosystem.

Go through the following Statements (i) A trophic level represents one species (ii) Pyramid of energy can never be inverted (iii) Ecological pyramids hold true only for simply food chains (iv) Saprophytes are included in the lower most bar in an energy pyramid Choose the best options regarding them

Assertion: Ecological pyramids cannot explain all vital functions of any ecosystem. Reason: Pyramids actually do not explain the role of organisms working at more than one trophic level.
