Question

According to the pyramid of numbers, the number of producers is greater than the number of

  1. Herbivores 
  2. Carnivore
  3. Omnivores
  4. Scavengers  

hintHint:

The number of producers should always be sufficient to feed the subsequent trophic levels.

The correct answer is: Herbivores


    • According to the pyramid of numbers, the number of producers is greater than the number of herbivores.
    • A pyramid of numbers refers to the graphical representation which depicts the number of organisms at subsequent trophic levels. 
    • In an uptight pyramid of numbers, the producers are always more in number as compared to other trophic levels.
    • Since the herbivores belong to primary consumers, thus their number is less than producers. 
    • This is because there should be enough plants to feed the subsequent trophic levels. Otherwise, the whole pyramid will come to an end and collapse. 

    The pyramid of numbers takes into consideration the number of organisms in a population and not the biomass.
