Question

What environmental factor does the pyramid of energy incorporate that prevents it from inverting? a. population size b. species turnover rate c. biomass at each trophic level d. level of consumption

Answer 1

The correct answer is (C) biomass at each trophic level

Pyramid of energy is a graphic representation of amount of energy trapped per unit time and area in different trophic levels of a food chain with producers forming the base and top carnivores the tip. As the biomass of producers are always greater than the carnivores, the pyramid of energy can't be inverted.

Answer 2

C biomass at trophic level
