The pyramid of numbers is:
a. Always upright
b. Always inverted
c. Either upright or inverted
d. Neither upright nor inverted.
The answer is option (c) Either upright or inverted.
Explanation: The number of predators can be more than the number of producers, as in the case of insects taking food from a tree. This will present an inverted number pyramid. A small number of herbivores feeding on a large number of plants will give an upright number pyramid.
