MARKS App · Accepted Answer

All the statements explain the characteristics of pyramids. In most ecosystems, all the pyramids of number, energy or biomass are upright, i.e., producers are more in number and biomass than the herbivores, and herbivores are more in number and biomass than the carnivores. Also, energy at a lower trophic level is always more than that at a higher level.
