Q. Consider the following statements about pyramid of biomass I. When we plot the biomass (net dry weight) of producers, herbivores, carnivores and so on we have a pyramid of biomass II. Two types of pyramid of biomass are found, $i.e.,$ upright and inverted III. When larger weight of producers support a smaller of biomass weight of consumers an upright pyramid results IV. When smaller weight of producers support larger weight of consumers an inverted pyramid of biomass is formed Which of the statements given above are correct?
A) I, II and III
B) I, III and IV
C) II, III and IV
D) I, II, III and IV
Explanation
The amount of living matter present in an ecosystem is known as biomass. It is upright in case of a tree, which supports a large number of birds and inverted in a pond, where a large fish eats upon a large number of phytoplanktons
