When biomass is burnt there is no change in matter i.e matter can neither be created nor destroyed, so total mass of product remains same as that of initial reactants. As for as energy is concerned it is transferred from chemical energy to heat and light energy, which can be further manipulated into mechanical energy or other forms of energy.

What proportion of energy in a rose plant with a biomass of 600 gm2 is transferred to a greenfly with a biomass of 50 gm2?
Assuming 10% energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels, the greenfly would receive approximately 60 gm^2 of energy (10% of the rose plant's biomass). This is calculated by multiplying the biomass of the rose plant (600 gm^2) by the energy transfer efficiency (10%).
Why biomass of primary consumers in a food chain is considerably less than the biomass of primary producers?
The biomass of primary consumers is considerably less than that of primary producers due to the inefficiencies in energy transfer between trophic levels. According to the 10% rule of energy transfer, only about 10% of the energy stored in primary producers is converted into biomass by primary consumers, as much energy is lost through metabolic processes, respiration, and heat. Additionally, primary producers, such as plants, capture energy from the sun and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis, resulting in a larger overall biomass compared to the energy available for consumers.
What happens to biomas as you move up the biomas pyramid?
As you move up the biomass pyramid, the amount of biomass decreases because energy is lost as you move up trophic levels through energy transfer from one organism to another. This is due to the inefficiency of energy transfer as organisms consume one another.
What are some reasons why energy does not transfer to the next level?
Energy may not transfer to the next trophic level due to inefficiency in energy transfer, loss of energy through metabolic processes, or energy being lost as heat during each energy transfer. Additionally, some energy may be used for movement or other activities that do not result in biomass production.
What are some different ways we turn biomass into energy we can use?
Biomass can be converted into energy through processes such as combustion, gasification, fermentation, and anaerobic digestion. Combustion burns biomass to produce heat or electricity, gasification converts biomass into synthetic gas that can be used in power generation, fermentation involves using microorganisms to break down biomass into biofuels like ethanol, and anaerobic digestion uses bacteria to break down biomass into biogas for heat or electricity production.
What are the energy transfer for biomass?
Burning stuff like wood, waste and other plant matter releases stored chemical energy in the form of heat, which can be used to turn shafts to produce electricity. Let's see this simple illustration of how biomass is used to generate electricity
What counties use biomass energy?
no one uses biomass energy
Where is biomass energy used now?
Biomass energy is widely used. One state that uses biomass is Oregon.
When can a small biomass of producers support a consumers?
A small biomass of producers can support a consumer population when there is enough energy available from the producers to sustain the consumer species. This relationship is dependent on factors such as energy transfer efficiency and the specific nutritional requirements of the consumer species. If the producers can replenish their biomass efficiently and there is minimal energy loss along the food chain, a small biomass of producers can indeed support a consumer population.
Is biomass energy available everywhere?
biomass energy is located everywhere on this planet!
Why is petrol used as fuel?
It burns nicely, holds lots of energy, is easy to store and transfer.
What is the energy transfer diagram for a radio?
i think its: thermal energy (from source of biomass being heated) ---> kinetic energy (from steam turning the turbine) ---> electrical energy (generator)
