Do you think it would be possible to construct a pyramid where the number of carnivores was more than the number of herbivores? Why or why not?


Do you think it would be possible to construct a pyramid where the biomass of carnivores was more than the biomass of herbivores? How does this compare to a numbers pyramid.


Please help!

Answer:

Explanation:

Pyramid is the use of graph to represents the flow of energy in each trophic level. There are five trophic level and each has its own energy level pyramid help to show the energy at each level.

Each energy level must have at least One tenth of the energy level of the organisms before itself, this indicates that the energy in the lower tropic level is higher than the trophic level above.

Hence, carnivores cannot be more than herbivores in a biomass they need enough of herbivores to survive in the biomass as the energy level moves from the herbivores to the carnivores.
