$(a)$ Upright and inverted pyramid 


	
		
			Upright pyramid
			Inverted pyramid
		
		
			$1$. The pyramid of energy is always upright.
			$1$. The pyramid of biomass and the pyramid of numbers can be inverted.
		
		
			$2$. In the upright pyramid, the number and biomass of organisms in the producer level of an ecosystem is the highest, which keeps on decreasing at each trophic level in a food chain.
			$2$. In an inverted pyramid, the number and biomass of organisms in the producer level of an ecosystem is the lowest, which keeps on increasing at each tropic level 
		
	


$(b)$ Food chain and Food web 


	
		
			Food chain
			Food web 
		
		
			$1$. It is a single linear sequence of organisms.
			$1$. It contains a number of interconnected food chains.
		
		
			$2$. Members present at higher trophic levels feed on single types of organisms.
			$2$. One organism has alternate food sources.
