Question

Pyramid of energy in ecosystems is

• A. Always upright
• B. Always inverted
• C. Mostly upright
• D. Mostly inverted

Answer 1

The correct option is A Always upright

Pyramid of energy is ecological pyramid that gives graphic representation of amount of energy trapped by different trophic levels per unit area. It is always upright because during transfer of energy from one trophic level to the next a lot of wastage occurs in metabolism at each trophic level and only 10% of energy is transferred to the next successive trophic level. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
