Why is a pyramid a good shape to represent how matter and energy transfer in an ecosystem? Why not use a circle or square?

Respuesta :

a pyramid shows the foundation of the food/resources and shows whos at the top while squares and circles would just show percentages

Pyramid consider is a good shape because  the shape of the energy pyramid shows that there's enough biomass energy contained within the primary producers at rock bottom.

To support the predators at the top, even though energy is lost at each level. Each level is the same height and therefore the available energy is represented by the width of every level.

Importance of pyramid-

  • They directly control the numbers of other organisms within the ecosystem.
  • The food in an ecosystem (whether the producers or the prey) directly control the numbers of the trophic level above them.

Circle or square is not used as a good shape because they don't show the levels of organisms in an ecosystem.

Thus, Pyramid is a good shape to represent matter and energy in an ecosystem with enough biomass energy contained in the primary producers at the bottom.
