Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Pyramid of energy is always upright, can never be inverted, because when energy flows from aparticular trophic level to the next trophic level, some energy is always lost as heat at eachstep.
Detailed explanation-2: -Complete answer: Pyramid of energy is the only pyramid that can never be inverted and is always upright.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pyramid of energy is always upright. As energy flows from one trophic level to the next trophic level some amount of energy is lost in each trophic level in the form of heat. Therefore, the pyramid of energy is always upright and can never be inverted.
Detailed explanation-4: -A pyramid of energy represents how much energy, initially from the sun, is retained or stored in the form of new biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. Typically, about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, thus preventing a large number of trophic levels.
Detailed explanation-5: -The pyramid of energy is inverted in ocean ecosystem. The pyramid of biomass is inverted in aquatic ecosystem.
