Question

What is the difference between an energy pyramid and a biomass pyramid?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Energy pyramid: is a model that shows the flow of energy from one feeding level to the next in an ecosystem. It compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level.

Unit: kilocalories (kcal).

While Biomass pyramid is a statistical graph that shows the biomass present in a unit area of various trophic levels. It shows the relationship between biomass and trophic level. It quantifies the amount of biomass available in each trophic level of an energy community at a given time.

Unit: grams per square meter (g/m^2), or calories per square meter (K/m^2).
