>Pyramid of Numbers in a Aquatic Ecosystem So, the producers are smallest sized but maximum in number while, top carnivores are larger in size but lesser in number, so these cannot be used as prey by another. Hence the pyramid of numbers is uprigh..

Energy conserving efficiency is 1.5% for grassland, 0.9% for savannah, 0.81% for mixed forest, 5% for modern crops and 10 - 12% for sugarcane field. Thus in an ecosystem there is, a) constant flow or transfer of energy from sunlight through plants (producers) to animals (consume..

a) Temperature and humidity are high and has a very rich florestic and faunistic composition. b) Canopy is very well developed and understory vegetation is fairly thick, short trees (upto 20 m), shrubs (upto 10 m) and herbs layer. c) Annual rainfall is around 200 - 225 cm and evenly distr..

The most distinguishing characteristic of life is the boundless diversity in living forms. It is the total living (biotic) component of our bioshpere.
