Another name for energy pyramid is ecological pyramid. It is very similar to the food chain. An energy pyramid has producers (green plants) at the bottom and three different types of consumers one above the other namely primary, secondary and tertiary.

Primary:primary consumers are herbivores that feed directly on the producers or the green plants.

Secondary:These consumers feed on the herbivores.

Tertiary:These are consumers that feed on other carnivores and are on top of the energy pyramid. This means they are the last entity in the food chain.

Eg:

Producers-Grass

Primary-Rabbit

Secondary-Snake

Tertiary-Eagle
