Pyramid of numbers in a forest ecosystem.

B

Pyramid of numbers in a parasitic food chain.

C

Pyramid of biomass in a forest ecosystem.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Pyramids of biomass are comparatively more fundamental, as they, instead of geometric factor, show the quantitative relationships of the standing crops. In grassland and forest, there is generally a gradual decrease in biomass of organisms at successive levels from the producers to the top carnivores. Thus, pyramids of biomass and number are upright in terrestrial ecosystems.
