The food pyramid is a triangle because it is the easiets to represent the data
the Greeks had a food that looked like a pyramid and was called something similar to it.
The pyramid usually get thinner as you go up it because if you start off with one producer and 8 consumers there will be less secondary consumers because then there will be more food. I hope this helped!
It is a triangle because it is the easiest to represent the data if you put it in a triangle it is easier to read it
Nutters who believe in pyramid energy. Or if the pyramid is a food chain, producers.
== == Of the trophic levels of the ecological pyramid, there are three ways to describe the flow of energy in food chains. Numbers, energy and biomass. See the related link for more information.
the difference is that energy pyramids show life and food pyramids are just stacks of food
a vegan food pyramid cancels out meat, dairy, and eggs. this is so because vegans only eat nuts, fruit, vegetables, wheat, and soy.
The old food pyramid depicted food groups and recommended servings. The new food pyramid emphasizes variety, moderation, and making healthier food choices. It also includes physical activity as an essential component of a healthy lifestyle.
maybe the differance is that one has more than the other
The three types of food pyramids are the traditional food pyramid, the Mediterranean food pyramid, and the Asian food pyramid. Each pyramid emphasizes different food groups and proportions based on cultural dietary patterns.
The Chinese pyramid is much the same to the western Pyramid but there are differences. For one the Chinese pyramid is missing Herbs, Minerals and Food Supplements, and there pyramid includes Industrial Chemicals and other "Mystery Proteins".We need to see both the western and Chinese food pyramids (diagrams) to make a comparison.*******************************or their is the more obvious answer, the Chinese one is full of Chinese food and the western on got western food on it....we need to see both the western and Chinese food pyramids (diagrams) to make a comparison
An ecological pyramid is a graphical representation of the trophic (feeding) relationships within an ecosystem. It shows the transfer of energy and matter between trophic levels, meaning that energy decreases as you move up the pyramid. There are three types of ecological pyramids: pyramid of numbers, pyramid of biomass, and pyramid of energy.
If one is to examine the two, there is no real differences. The food pyramid was one of the first visual representations of "how to eat" and "what to eat". The Eatwell Plate was introduced by the UK Food Standards Agency, and is that of a more user friendly visualization, represented on a plate. One may see that the 6 essential food groups, Grains, Veg, Milk, Meat, Fruit and oils are in exact ration to that of the Food Pyramid.
A food web shows the complex network of interconnected food chains in an ecosystem, including the various paths of energy flow. On the other hand, a pyramid of biomass represents the relative amount of living organic matter present at each trophic level in an ecosystem, with producers at the base and top predators at the apex. The pyramid of biomass illustrates the quantitative differences in biomass between trophic levels, while the food web provides a more qualitative view of the interactions between different organisms in an ecosystem.
what is the difference between undigested food and metabolic waste
make a pyramid out of food
