Ecological pyramid

Explanation:

Three types of ecological pyramids are there and all of them are upright in direction.

Pyramid of energy-

This type of pyramid is upright in direction as the energy flows from producers to different tropic levels by loss of heat.

Producer(tree)⇒herbivores(goat)⇒carnivore(tiger)

Pyramid of number-

This type of pyramid shows upright direction in some cases when the number of producers are high and as it goes upward the number of consumer decreases.

Pyramid of biomass-

This type of pyramid may be upright or inverted as it defines the graphical representation shows the unit area of various trophic levels.

Ecological pyramid  which is known The pyramid of energy is always upright.

Explanation:

  • The pyramid of energy is the only pyramid that can never be inverted and is always upright.
  • The pyramid of energy depends upon gain or loss of energy at every trophic level.
  • This pyramid  loses some amount of energy at each trophic level.
  • There is only 10% of the gain of energy at a trophic level and this is transferred to the next trophic level.
  • It is the only pyramid that can never be inverted and is always upright.
  • The reason is that some amount of energy in the form of heat is lost to the environment at every trophic level of the food chain.
  • The lost energy is measured in terms of energy per area per time.
  • The  energy amount transferred from one level to the next level is noted as transfer of productivity
  • It is between the trophic levels and hence it is also known as the Pyramid of productivity.
  • The energy lost after the change of  each trophic level is high.
