What tropic level contains the greatest biomass in ecosystem. explain why this occurs?
First trophic level or producers or green plants or phytoplanktons have the highest biomass except aquatic ecosystems because they perform maximum photosynthesis.
What is the total amount of organic matter in a tropic level called?
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.
Explandiate the following tropic movement chemotropismgalvanotropismand trantotropism?
explain trantotropism
How trees can be producers and yet the smallest tropic level in a pyramid of numbers?
Trees are very large compared to the organisms they support, such as insects, birds and rodents. A single tree has much more biomass than the consumers depending upon it, meaning it is still the base of biomass pyramids and pyramids of energy. Therefore even if they are fewer in number trees still occupy the producer level of the trophic pyramid

What are the limitations of the Pyramids of Numbers Biomass and Energy?
These pyramids are quantitative measures of varying relationship within an ecosystem. They are of course derived from experimental data. When this data is collect it is usually difficult to analyse and so form the pyramids because it is quite difficult to sort the data obtained into respective tropic levels which are displayed in the pyramids. Part of the problem is that many species feed at different tropic levels and the proportion of feeding at different tropic levels vary from year to year overtime. Hence proving to be quite limited as many of these indetailed searches havent been conducted for many ecosystems.
Hundreds of species of butterflies live on what large island in the Indian ocean that is crossed by the tropic of Capricorn?
Madagascar
What is the tropical region?
The tropical region refers to the area near the Earth's equator between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. It is known for its warm temperatures, high humidity, and distinct wet and dry seasons. The tropical region is home to a wide variety of plant and animal species.
Which tropic line crosses Australia?
Australia extends over a range of 10°5' south to 43°36' south ... a span of about 33.5 degrees of latitude.There is no official set of lines to which you're limited or restricted, and you're free to draw as manyor as few lines through this range of latitude as you're comfortable with.The only named line of latitude which crosses Australia is the Tropic of Capricorn.
