energy in an ecosystem is often depicted as a pramid, with the most energy at the bottom and the least amount of orginal energy at the top.

energy in an ecosystem is often depicted as a pramid, with the most energy at the bottom and the least amount of orginal energy at the top. organisms can also be represented in a biomass pyramid, showing the mass of each trophic level as the relative mass of the organisms in that level. why do you think there is usually a higher biomass of producers in an ecosystem than top-level (tertiary or quaternary) consumer?
