The three major types of ecological pyramids are as follows:

– Pyramid of Number – Pyramid of Biomass – Pyramid of Energy

Pyramid of Number

In this ecological pyramid, the number of creatures in each trophic level is considered as a level.

The number pyramid is typically upright, with the exception of some circumstances like the detritus food chain.

Pyramid of Biomass

This pyramid depicts the biomass produced at each trophic level.

In this pyramid, producers have the most biomass, followed by primary consumers, who have less biomass than producers.

An energy pyramid illustrates the transmission of energy at different trophic levels.

Pyramid of Energy

The energy pyramid is always upright since a food chain's energy flow is always unidirectional.
