Ecological Pyramids

Directions: Energy is the source of all life on Earth. To obtain energy, organisms look to different sources, like sunlight, plants, or other animals. As a result,
food chains develop and each stage can be discussed in terms of trophic levels, energy, biomass, and number. Diagram the various ecological pyramids below
to see the connections.
