In his science project, Ben explained the pyramid of energy with an example of the population of birds and the insects they feed on. Can he invert the pyramid to show the flow of energy?

Ben____________invert the pyramid of energy

Answer 1

Ben CAN invert the pyramid of energy; it will then show which insects are eaten by which birds, instead of the other way around.

Answer 2

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with yes he can.

Explanation:

In the food chain, that is, in an inverted pyramid, if the species’ biomass is enhancing as one is going towards the succeeding trophic levels, such pyramids are called inverted energy pyramid. In the food chain, the parasites are an illustration of an inverted energy pyramid. In the given case, the insects are present at the food chain’s base, and the small birds begin to feed on them that are then further get consumed by some bigger species. In this manner, there is an increase in biomass as one move upwards in a food chain, and thus, it will demonstrate a negative energy pyramid.
