Q: The pyramid of energy is……….
  • A. always inverted
  • B. never upright
  • C. always upright
  • D. No option is correct
Correct Answer: Option C - An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the relationship between different living organisms at different trophic levels. The energy flow in an ecosystem was first coined by Lindeman. Pyramid of energy is always upright as the flow of energy in a food chain is always unidirectional also with increasing trophic level, some energy is lost into the environment. In grassland ecosystem and the pond ecosystem there are upright pyramids usually found. In upright pyramid the number of individuals decreases from lower level to the higher level.
