Question

In a pyramid of numbers representing an ecosystem of a large freshwater pond, the number of primary consumers is

• A. Less than the top consumers
• B. Less than the secondary consumers
• C. Less than the producer
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Less than the secondary consumers

• The number of primary consumers is always less than the producers in a pyramid of numbers that represent an ecosystem with a large freshwater pond. In a large freshwater pond, the producers are always higher in number. The number of primary consumers is less than the producers, and secondary consumers are even less in number. The top consumers in a pond ecosystem are least in number.

So, the correct answer is 'Less than the secondary consumer'.
