The pyramids of biomass are always pyramid-shaped because, at each trophic level in an ecosystem, energy is lost as it is transferred from one level to the next, usually due to metabolic processes and heat. This results in a decreasing amount of biomass and energy as one moves up the food chain, with producers (like plants) having the most biomass at the base, followed by primary consumers (herbivores) and then secondary and tertiary consumers (carnivores). Consequently, the shape visually represents the reduction in biomass and energy availability at each successive trophic level.
