Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement describes the concept of an ecological pyramid of energy, which shows the flow of energy through the different trophic levels of an ecosystem. At the bottom of the pyramid are the photosynthesizers, which have the highest amount of energy, and at the top are the apex predators, which have the lowest amount of energy. The low number of herbivores being supported by a larger number of photosynthesizers is characteristic of an ecological pyramid.
