Which ecological pyramid always remains upright?

The pyramid of energy always remains upright because energy diminishes as it moves up trophic levels in an ecosystem. This is because energy is lost as heat during each transfer between trophic levels, leading to a decrease in available energy for higher trophic levels.


What is trophic level in Biology?

A trophic level refers to a position in a food chain or ecological pyramid that indicates an organism's feeding status in an ecosystem. Organisms in the same trophic level share the same primary food source and are connected by their feeding relationships. There are typically four to five trophic levels in a food chain, ranging from producers at the base to top predators at the apex.


What does a biomas pyramid represent?

I think you might be talking about a biomass pyramid. I never heard of a biotic pyramid. Take a look at this website. It might help you. http://earth.rice.edu/MTPE/bio/biosphere/topics/energy/40_biomass.html


In any ecosystem the first trophic level always belong to the?

producers


What is a pyramid of Biomass to do with a pyramid of Numbers?

Pyramids of Numbers show the numbers of species involved in a simple food chain. The problem with pyramids of Numbers is that in some events the pyramid is not pyramid shaped. For example, When using aphids and tomato plants as an example, there will be hundreds of aphids feeding on the tomato plant, giving the pyramid an inverse-pyramid shape. Pyramids of Biomass, however, do not take into account the numbers involved, but rather the mass. This is not only sometimes of a higher scientific value, but in most cases this will form a pyramid.

In an energy pyramid the producer layer always has the?

In an energy pyramid, the producer layer always has the most energy because producers, such as plants, are able to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to consumers in higher trophic levels through the consumption of producers.


In an ecosystem the first trophic level always belongs to what?

producers- plants

What level is autotraph on the trophic level?

Autotrophs are always in the first level, they're the producers.


Do primary consumers always make up the first trophic level in a food web?

No. Producers always make up the first trophic level in a food web or chain.


Are organisms at the bottom of the energy pyramid always producers?

Yes because the consumers like mice and antelopes eat the producers (plants, example: grass flowers) and the producers don't eat anything. They make energy from sunlight ( basically growing, plants use sunlight to grow).


What are always found at the base of an energy pyramid?

Nutters who believe in pyramid energy. Or if the pyramid is a food chain, producers.


Do primary consumers make up the first trophic level in a food web?

No. Producers always make up the first trophic level in a food web or chain.

Why the pyramid of numbers is not a true pyramid shape?

The pyramid of numbers is not a true pyramid shape because it represents the number of organisms at each trophic level rather than biomass or energy. In many ecosystems, the number of individual organisms can be greater at lower trophic levels while higher levels may contain fewer, larger organisms, leading to an irregular shape. Additionally, some ecosystems, such as those with a few large producers and many small consumers, can result in inverted pyramids. Thus, the pyramid of numbers can be skewed and does not always reflect a true pyramidal structure.

What is always at the bottom of the energy pyramid?

Usually Producers are at the bottom of the energy pyramid such as Grass, Fungi, dead leaves, ect.
