|
It shows specific predator/prey relationships

Detailed explanation-1: -A pyramid of energy or pyramid of productivity shows the production or turnover (the rate at which energy or mass is transferred from one trophic level to the next) of biomass at each trophic level. Instead of showing a single snapshot in time, productivity pyramids show the flow of energy through the food chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -What are some differences between a food chain, web, or energy pyramid? Food chains show a limited feeding relationship between only a few organisms. Energy pyramid is the visual representation of the amount of energy, population, or biomass at each trophic level.
Detailed explanation-3: -Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.
Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. Kate M. A food web is made up of several food chains and a food pyramid includes energy flow up the food chain.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pyramids of energy show relative amounts of energy available at different trophic levels. Pyramids of biomass show the total amount of living tissue at each trophic level. A pyramid of numbers shows the relative numbers of organisms at different trophic levels.
