Solution

In an aquatic ecosystem, an inverted pyramid of biomass is observed. Biomass is the amount of living matter present in an ecosystem. In an aquatic ecosystem, a large fish eats upon a large number of phytoplanktons so the pyramid of biomass is inverted. However, the pyramid of energy is always upright.
