2. The pyramid of energy is always upright because energy flow decreases constantly when moving from one trophic level to another, and energy is lost according to Lindeman's '10% Law'.
3. The pyramid of biomass in a pond or aquatic ecosystem is always upright because the total dry weight of aquatic organisms continuously increases as it moves towards higher trophic levels.

Under Environmental Studies (EVS) teaching-learning and Ecosystem, consider the following statements regarding 'Ecological Pyramids': 1. The 'Pyramid of Numbers' is always upright, whether it is a grassland ecosystem, a forest ecosystem, or a large-sized tree ecosystem. 2. The 'Pyramid of Biomass' is upright in most terrestrial ecosystems, because the total biomass of producers is much higher than that of consumers, but in an aquatic ecosystem (such as a pond or sea) it is inverted because the biomass of phytoplankton is lower than that of higher carnivorous animals. 3. The 'Pyramid of Energy' in any ecosystem is always upright, because according to the Laws of Thermodynamics, there is a continuous decrease during the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another.
