Energy Pyramid: Why It's Always Upright — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027Pyramid of energy is always upright, can never be inverted, because when energy flows from a particular trophic level to the next trophic level, some energy is always lost as heat at each step. Each bar in the energy pyramid indicates the amount of energy present at each trophic level in a given time or annually per unit area.
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
Which of the following are TRUE regarding energy pyramids? 1. They can never be inverted 2. They reflect the energy content of each trophic level 3. Each bar represents annual energy per unit area 4. They include omnivores in all levels
View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — 1, 2, and 3 only
Energy pyramids are always upright, show energy quantity per trophic level, and are quantified per unit area/time. Omnivores may occupy multiple levels, not all.
