Question

Population size increases as you go up ecological pyramids.
Group of answer choices

True

False

Answer 1

False. In ecological pyramids, such as the pyramid of numbers, biomass, and energy, population size generally decreases as you move up the pyramid. This is because only a fraction of the energy (about 10% on average) from one trophic level is passed on to the next, leading to fewer individuals at higher trophic levels.
