Vedclass · Answer

(B) In a forest ecosystem,the pyramid of number is inverted or spindle-shaped rather than upright. This is because a single large tree (producer) can support a large number of herbivorous birds or insects (primary consumers),which in turn support a smaller number of predatory birds (secondary consumers). Since the base representing the producers is narrower than the level representing the primary consumers,the pyramid is not upright.
