Which kind of pyramid is represented by the given figure?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
This figure represents an inverted pyramid where the standing biomass of producers (phytoplankton) is much smaller than that of the consumers. This occurs in aquatic environments because phytoplankton reproduce and are consumed so rapidly that they maintain a very low total biomass at any single moment.
