Question

Name the type of food chains responsible for the flow of larger fraction of energy in an aquatic and a terrestrial ecosystem respectively. Mention one difference between the two food chains.

Answer 1

The English Channel ecosystem exhibits an inverted biomass pyramid since the primary producers make up less biomass than the primary consumers. Pyramid ecosystem modeling can also be used to show energy flow through the trophic levels; pyramids of energy are always upright since energy decreases at each trophic level.

Its simple. The secondary consumers in the aquatic ecosystem {eg. sharks, whales} have larger mass than the primary consumers {small fishes} which in turn have larger biomass than the producers{eg. phytoplanktons}. So the pyramid comes out to be inverted.
