**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Ecological Pyramids**: Ecological pyramids are graphical representations that show the relationship between different organisms at various trophic levels in an ecosystem. They can be represented based on three criteria: number of organisms, energy transfer, and biomass. 2. **Types of Ecological Pyramids**: - **Pyramid of Number**: This pyramid represents the number of organisms at each trophic level. In a grassland ecosystem, the base consists of a large number of producers (plants), which are greater in number than herbivores (primary consumers) and carnivores (secondary consumers). Therefore, the pyramid of number is upright. - **Pyramid of Energy**: This pyramid illustrates the energy transfer between trophic levels. According to the 10% law, only about 10% of the energy is transferred from one level to the next. Since the energy is maximum at the base (producers) and decreases as we move up, this pyramid is also upright. ...
