Aquatic Habitats

Question 9 • 5120VA Environmental Science Sem A

Which is not a similarity between terrestrial and aquatic pyramids?

Answer
A
both have producers as the base that can harvest the sun’s energy to make food
B
both types still consist of producers, herbivores, and carnivores
C
both types of energy pyramids contain the same species of organisms
D
both types contain a decreasing number of organisms going from the bottom to the top of the pyramid

Explanation

Terrestrial and aquatic pyramids can both have producers at the base, followed by herbivores and carnivores. However, they do not contain the same species: terrestrial ecosystems include land organisms, while aquatic ecosystems include water-dwelling organisms. Therefore, the statement that they contain the same species is not a similarity.
