An ecological pyramid illustrates the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem, typically showing that energy decreases as it moves from producers to consumers. In contrast, a biomass pyramid displays the total mass of living organisms at each trophic level, highlighting the amount of organic material available. While energy pyramids emphasize the energy transfer efficiency, biomass pyramids focus on the quantity of biological material present in each level. Both types of pyramids help illustrate the dynamics and structure of ecosystems.
