Answer:

Pyramid of numbers represents the number of individual organisms at each trophic level. Pyramid of biomass represents the biomass present at each trophic level while pyramid of energy shows the energy available at each trophic level. All three types of pyramids are useful for characterizing ecosystem structure.
