Ecological Pyramids: Structure and Types — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptThis, relationship is expressed in terms of number, biomass or energy. The base of each pyramid represents the producers or the first trophic level while the apex represents tertiary or top level consumer. The three types of ecological pyramids that are usually studied are (a) pyramid of number; (b) pyramid of biomass and (c) pyramid of energy. For detail.
Match the following: Column I A. Fragmentation B. Net Primary Productivity C. Tertiary Consumer D. Pyramid of Numbers in grassland Column II 1. Top carnivore 2. Biomass available to heterotrophs 3. Upright 4. Breakdown of detritus into smaller particles
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: C — A–4, B–2, C–1, D–3
Fragmentation = detritivores breaking detritus. NPP = biomass for heterotrophs. Tertiary consumers are top carnivores. Grassland pyramid of numbers is upright.
