An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the trophic levels within an ecosystem. It illustrates the flow of energy through various organisms in an ecosystem, showing how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. Typically, ecological pyramids are divided into three types: pyramid of numbers, pyramid of biomass, and pyramid of energy. These pyramids show the decreasing amount of energy available at each successive trophic level, with the primary producers at the bottom and the top predators at the top. This structure demonstrates the decreasing energy transfer efficiency as you move up the food chain in an ecosystem.
