Imagine you are a scientist studying a deciduous forest ecosystem. You've identified various organisms, including deer, wolves, grass, and birds. You've also noted the presence of decomposers like fungi. You are tasked with creating a trophic pyramid for this ecosystem, illustrating the energy flow from one level to the next. Based on your knowledge of trophic levels and the energy transfer between them, what factors should be considered while designing the trophic pyramid, and how would the presence of each organism affect the energy flow in the ecosystem?

The presence of each organism does not affect the energy flow in the ecosystem, and energy increases as you move up the pyramid due to the energy gained during consumption.

In a trophic pyramid, energy is not lost as heat during consumption, and the energy remains constant from one level to the next.

When designing a trophic pyramid, the role of each organism in the ecosystem is not important, and energy is transferred equally from one level to the next.

When designing a trophic pyramid, it's important to consider the role of each organism in the ecosystem and how energy is transferred from one level to the next. The presence of each organism affects the energy flow in the ecosystem, with energy decreasing as you move up the pyramid due to the energy lost as heat during consumption.

Decomposers like fungi do not play a crucial role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem and are not considered in the trophic pyramid.
