Define pyramid of biomass.

In an open ocean, the biomass of primary producers (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 support the higher trophic levels?

An inverted pyramid of biomass can be found in which ecosystem?

Name the type of ecosystem that exhibits the following types of pyramid. (a) Inverted pyramid of biomass (b) Spindle shaped pyramid of number

Draw the diagrammatic representation of pyramids of biomass different types of ecosystems.

Define pyramid of numbers.

Study the following ecological pyramids carefully. Mathc the following statements I,ii and iii with gien pyramidsa, B and C and select the correct answer. (i) Inverted pyramid of biomass depicting small standing crop of phytoplanktons supporintg a large standing crop of zooplanktons (ii) Pyramid of numbers in a grassland ecosytems showing about 6 milion producers. (iii) Upright pyramid of biomass

Given figure represents a pyramid of biomass in an aquatic ecosystem. Identify A and B and select the correct answer. (i) A is the crop which supporsts and B is the crop which is supported. (ii) A is the crop which is supported and B is the crop which supports. (iii) A is phytoplanktons and B is zooplanktons. (iv) A is zooplanktons and B is phytoplanktons.

The pyramid of biomass is not based on

The pyramid of biomass of this ecosystem is always inverted
