Q.Draw a pyramid from following details and explain in brief.
Quantities of organisms are given - Hawks-50, plants-1000, rabbit and mouse-250 +250, pythons and lizard- 100 + 50 respectively.

Step 2. Arrange these totals from the base upward by trophic level: T1 Producers (Plants) = 1000 at the base, T2 Primary consumers (Rabbit + Mouse) = 500 above it, T3 Secondary consumers (Python + Lizard) = 150 above that, and T4 Tertiary consumers (Hawks) = 50 at the tip.
Step 3. Since each successive level (1000 → 500 → 150 → 50) holds fewer organisms than the level below it, this is a steadily narrowing pyramid from base to tip — an upright pyramid of numbers, following the same shape the chapter describes for grassland and pond ecosystems. …
