What do you know about an Energy Pyramid?

1 answer

An energy pyramid is a graphical representation of the flow of energy through an ecosystem. It shows the relative amounts of energy available at each trophic level in a given ecosystem. The base of the pyramid is made up of producers, which are organisms that use photosynthesis or chemosynthesis to create their own food. The next level is made up of primary consumers, which are organisms that feed on the producers. The next level is made up of secondary consumers, which feed on the primary consumers. The top of the pyramid is made up of tertiary consumers, which feed on the secondary consumers.
