Question

select the correct answer. which type of pyramid compares the mass of marine organisms? a. inverted biomass pyramid b. pyramid of numbers c. pyramid of energy d. upright biomass pyramid

Explanation:

In marine ecosystems, the biomass pyramid is often inverted. This is because primary producers (phytoplankton) have a short - life span and high turnover rate, and the biomass of higher trophic levels can be greater at a given time. Pyramid of numbers counts the number of organisms, pyramid of energy shows energy flow, and upright biomass pyramids are more common in terrestrial ecosystems.

Answer:

A. Inverted biomass pyramid
