Ecological Pyramids (Energy, Biomass, and Numbers)
Ecological pyramids are like charts that show how many animals and plants live in a habitat. Imagine a pyramid with different layers. The bottom layer has the most plants, and then the next layer has fewer plant-eating animals, and so on. It’s like a big family with grandparents, parents, and kids. The grandparents are like the plants, and then the parents are the plant-eating animals, and the kids are the animals that eat other animals. These pyramids help us understand who eats who in nature!
