Which one of the following statements for pyramid of energy is incorrect, whereas the remaining three are correct?

Options

A. It is upright in shape
B. Its base is broad
C. It shows the energy content of different trophic level organisms
D. It is inverted in shape

Answer

D

Explanation

The pyramid of energy is always upright because the flow of energy is unidirectional i.e. from producers to consumers. The energy decreases at each trophic level of the food chain. Only `10%` of the energy of previous trophic level is received by next trophic level.
