Q28. Which of the following is the best suited example for inverted Pyramid of biomass?

• A. a) Aquatic ecosystem
• B. b) Ecosystem of a big tree
• C. c) Grassland ecosystem
• D. d) Tropical fresh ecosystem

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a) Aquatic ecosystem

28 Ans A

Explanation:

Pyramid of Biomass – Inverted.

In many aquatic ecosystems, the pyramid of biomass may assume an inverted form.

This is because the producers are tiny phytoplankton that grow and reproduce rapidly.

Here, the pyramid of biomass has a small base, with the consumer biomass at any instant actually exceeding the producer biomass and the pyramid assumes inverted shape.
