Detailed explanation-1: -The three types of ecological pyramids include: Pyramid of Number. Pyramid of Biomass. Pyramid of Energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -A pyramid of numbers shows graphically the population, or abundance, in terms of the number of individual organisms involved at each level in a food chain. This shows the number of organisms in each trophic level without any consideration for their individual sizes or biomass. The pyramid is not necessarily upright.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pyramid of Biomass: This shows the biomass at successive trophic levels. It can be upright or inverted. Pyramid of energy: It shows the rate of energy flow and/or productivity at successive trophic levels. It is always upright.
Detailed explanation-4: -A biomass pyramid is the representation of total living biomass or organic matter present at different trophic levels in an ecosystem. Biomass is calculated as the mass of living organisms present at each trophic level in a given sample size. It can be represented as dry weight in grams or calories per unit area.
