Question

The pyramid of energy in terrestrial ecosystem is
(a) Up right (b) Inverted
(c) Spindle shaped (d) Irregular

Answer 1

The Pyramid of Energy in a Terrestrial Ecosystem is Always Upright, Because There is a Gradual decrease in Energy at successive Trophic levels.

But, Where does this Energy go?

The Answer is When an Organism feeds on something, the Organism must use some energy which is derived from the food it has consumed, in order to survive the battle of life. In this way, When Energy is passed from One Trophic level to other Trophic level, Some Energy is always lost in the form of Heat into the Environment. Because of this, The Top Carnivore or Consumer will receive the least amount of Energy. That's why Top Carnivores need to consume more prey in order to Survive and satisfy their Hunger.

Biologists found out that only 10% of the Total Energy is Transferred from One Trophic Level to Another. That's very less amount of Energy!

$\clubsuit$ Life is Hard for Wild Animals & Humans made it even more Hard!

So, The Answer is Upright

⇒ Option A is the Answer

Answer 2

The pyramid of energy in terrestrial ecosystem is up right
