2. Man is at the top of the ecological pyramid. The pyramid has a large base.
3. It represents primary producers. From base to the top, the numbers go on deceasing at each trophic level.
4. All green plants and other producers occupy the first trophic level. Herbivores which feed on plants occupy the second trophic level. Carnivores that eat herbivores are at the third trophic level.
5. At each level, the flow of energy is reduced; because only a fraction of energy is transferred from lower to higher level.
Ecological balance is a state of dynamic equilibrium within a community of organisms in a habitat or ecosystem.
The five kingdoms are as under:
i. Monera (Single cell microscopic organisms).
ii. Protista (Unicellular, mainly aquatic organisms).
iii. Plantae (Multicellular photosynthetic plants).
iv. Fungi (Multicellular decomposers).
v. Animalia (Multicellular animal consumers).
