Each trophic level contains one-tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it.

What would biomass tell us that a pyramid of numbers wouldn't?
A pyramid of numbers will only tell you the amount of organisms at each trophic level. A Biomass pyramid ignores the amount of organisms in favour of their biomass (dry weight) which in turn represents the amount of energy available at each trophic level.
What is the 10 rule?
Only about 10%-20% of energy at each trophic level is availaable to pass on to the next level. In other words, at each level there is only about 10% available energy to put on new biomass(growth).
Organisms at the first trophic level are called?
Producers make up the first trophic level. A trophic level is each step in a food chain or food web is called a trophic level.
Why can each trophic level support only about one tenth the amount of living tissue of the level below?
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level (from all the activity done by that level, e.g., running, climbing, fighting) . The energy available to the next trophic level is about 10% of the energy of the previous trophic level.
What is the relationship between the trophic level of an organism and the concentration of DDT in its body?
If an animal on a high trophic level eats other organisms on a lower trophic level effected by DDT, the animals level will be affected.
Was is the total amount of organic matter within a trophic level is called?
Biomass is the total amount of organic matter present in any trophic level.
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
Which group of organisms has the least biomass?
A tropic level is the position that an organism occupies in the food chain. The trophic level that has the least biomass is trophic level 5, which is composed of apex predators.
The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
biomass pyramid.
Do the biomass of organisms in a typical ecological pyramid increases at each level?
The biomass of each organism decreases with each level. With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well. Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.
What is the total amount of living tissue within a trophic level?
BIOMASS
What is the weight of tissue and organic matter found at a trophic level?
Biomass
What trophic level represents the largest biomassin this ecosystem?
primary biomass is lost the higher you ger in the trophic levels
