Pyramid of numbers in a pond ecosystem is
Correct answer: C. Upright
- A. Irregular
- B. Inverted
- C. Upright
- D. Spindle shaped.
Explanation
The pyramid of numbers is an ecological pyramid that employs the number of individuals per unit area at various trophic levels sequence-wise with producers at the base and various consumers at successively higher levels. The pyramid of numbers assumes different shapes in different ecosystems. The pyramid of numbers in a pond ecosystem is also upright. In a forest ecosystem, the pyramid of numbers is intermediate. Here, the number of primary consumers is more than producers as well as top consumers. In the parasitic food chain, the pyramid of numbers is inverted.
