The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding Ecological Pyramids**: - Ecological pyramids are graphical representations that illustrate the relationships between different organisms in an ecosystem, categorized by their trophic levels (e.g., producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, etc.). 2. **Identifying Limitations**: - The question asks us to identify which of the provided options is **not** a limitation of ecological pyramids. The options given are: - A) Does not account for the same species in two or more trophic levels - B) Saprophytes are not given any place - C) Not good for a food web - D) Not good if there are more than three trophic levels 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: Ecological pyramids do not account for the same species appearing in multiple trophic levels. This is indeed a limitation. - **Option B**: Saprophytes (decomposers) are not represented in ecological pyramids. This is also a limitation. - **Option C**: Ecological pyramids are not effective for representing food webs, which is another limitation. - **Option D**: The statement claims that ecological pyramids are not good if there are more than three trophic levels. This is incorrect; ecological pyramids can represent ecosystems with more than three trophic levels. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since option D is the only statement that is not a limitation of ecological pyramids, the correct answer is **D**.
