Question

In a pyramid, which of the following constitute the largest number of organisms?

• A. Decomposers
• B. Consumers
• C. Primary consumers (herbivores)
• D. Producers

Answer 1

The correct option is A Decomposers

An ecological pyramid represents various organisms at different tropic levels in an ecosystem. According to different studies, decomposers constitute the maximum number of organisms in an ecosystem.

We know that decomposers are organisms that feed on dead decaying plant and animal bodies and convert their complex organic substances into simple substances. They form a saprophytic mode of nutrition and are a type of heterotrophs.

So the correct option is A.
