Biomass. Pyramids of biomass and number are scientific models to represent all the things eaten in a foodchain. Pyramids of number are flawed as a great many insects may feed on a tree, for example, producing a narrow base to the pyramid. Pyramids of biomass are a better model as they show the dry mass of each part of the food chain and give a better indication of the energy passed between trophic layers. Biomass pyramids show the abundance of organisms at each trophic level.
Energy Pyramids show how much energy is present at each level. It is a diagram that shows the relative amounts of energy within each trophic level in a food chain or web. Biomass Pyramids represents the amount of biomass within each trophic level. Numbers Pyramids show how many organisms there are at each tropic level. Energy pyramids are probably the most useful of the three!
Food pyramids show the transfer and flow of energy of living things. Biomes are not living things, therefore do not have any food pyramids.
Those at the top of the food pyramid contain consumers with the smallest number and therefore, with the least total biomass compared to the layers below them.
Nutrition is getting food, respiration is turning the food into energy
the difference is that energy pyramids show life and food pyramids are just stacks of food

its called Eltonian Pyramids......named so in the honour of a scientist ELTONIAN who prepared these graphs for the first time....these pyramids (graphs)are prepared on various basis,such as biomass,number,and energy....
== == Of the trophic levels of the ecological pyramid, there are three ways to describe the flow of energy in food chains. Numbers, energy and biomass. See the related link for more information.

A pyramid of biomass shows how much energy the organism on a food chain is getting from its food.
The biomass pyramid is a chart that is drawn to scale. It displays the biomass at each stage in the food chain.
what is the difference between undigested food and metabolic waste
what is the difference between kerala and ladakh in thier food habits
Because their food
My food stays on my plate.
