Since the pyramid narrows from bottom to top, we can conclude that the amount of energy keeps on decreasing as we move to a higher trophic level.

Explanation:

Ecological pyramid are graphical representation of data that shows the number of organisms,amount of energy and amount of biomass at each trophic level in a food chain.

Food chain is a sequence of organism who are related  to each other by the process of Eating and being Eaten up.

The base of the ecological pyramid represents the producer or the first trophic level while the apex of the pyramid represents the  cosumers at higher levels of food chain; other consumer trophic levels are in middle.

There are three types of Ecological pyramids:

  • Pyramid of number: This shows the number of organisms of a population present at each trophic level.
  • Pyramid of energy: This shows the amount of energy available at each trophic level and clearly depicts the  energy loss at successive trophic level.
  • Pyramid of biomass:  This pyramid represents the total dry weight of living beings present at each trophic level.

The pyramid of Energy is always an upright pyramid because amount of energy transferred from one trophic to next keeps on decreasing as the energy is lost in form of heat and is also used up by the organism at a given trophic level and only the remaining is part to the next.

In general, the nervous system
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E.

Explanation:

The nervous system is one of the most important systems of the animal body which helps in the transmission of the signals to and fro from the body to the nervous system.

The evolution of this system is the basis of the evolution of the human species as it helped and tried the species to sense the external environment most efficiently as well as improved the response to the environment.

The nervous system improved the response by forming new interactions with each other and responding to it by reducing the response time through reflex actions which formed fast acting response to the environment. The transmission of signals improved as the cells were long-lasting that is present form the birth of an organism  

Thus,  option-E is the correct answer.
