| What does a Pyramid of Biomass show? | -This simply shows the Mass of the Living Material at that Stage on the Food Chain |
| Example:
Rosebush --> Caterpillars --> Bird
2000g ---> 80g ---> 20g
-Describe how the Pyramid of Biomass would look like | -The Rosebush, would start at the Bottom, because its the Producer [Bottom of the Food Chain] and, it would be the Longest, because it Weighs the Most
-The Caterpillar would be in the Middle, Primary Consumer, and it would be the Second Longest
-The Bird would be in the top, Secondary Consumer, and it would be the Shortest |
| Why could it be difficult to make an Accurate Biomass Pyramid sometimes? | -Some Organisms can feed off more than one Trophic Levels, so it would mess it up really |
| What does a Pyramid of Number show? | -This simply shows the Number of the Living Organisms at the Stage of the Food Chain |
| Example:
1 Rosebush --> 20 Caterpillars --> 1 Bird
-Describe how the Pyramid of Number would look like | -The Rosebush would start at the Bottom, Producer, and it would be Very Short, because there is only 1 of it
-The Caterpillars would be at the Middle, Primary Consumer, and it would be the Longest, cause it has the Most of it [20]
-The Bird would be at the top, Secondary Consumer, and it would be Identical Length to the Rosebush, because there is only 1 of it |
