The biomass of the primary producers is being consumed so fast (by the primary consumers) that the standing crop appears to be smaller that the primary consumer in a pyramid of biomass.
If the same data was plotted on an annual biomass ecological pyramid then the usual pattern would be oberved.

An energy pyramid cannot be inverted according to the law of conservation of energy. Actually, while quite strange, number and biomass pyramids can be inverted or semi inverted. In some aquatic biomass pyramids, phytoplankton, which die and reproduce rapidly, are smaller and have less biomass than a few levels higher (not completely inverted). This is why energy pyramids are more reliable than biomass and number

Why is energy pyramid never inverted?
No, it is not possible. In a particular energy pyramid, no additional energy enters the system, and energy is lost to the environment at every level.
Is it possible for an inverted energy pyramid to exsit in the cold explain why or why not?
No, it is not possible. In a particular energy pyramid, no additional energy enters the system, and energy is lost to the environment at every level.
How can a biomass pyramid be inverted?
It means its not a pyramid shape and this can happen because the consumers of the producer can be less

Why is the energy pyramid called the energy pyramid?
because one predator eats prey for energy which causes a connection between the animals that they both eat has a connection now which is kind of a pyramid cause cant live without the other to find out more go to my facebook lucycamesimon@rocketmail.com
