the pesticides kill the bugs eating the plant so therefore killing them will let the plant grow more, doing so would increase the biomass of the plant.

The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
A sentence for biomass?
Nowadays biomass is being reused to form fuel. This is an example using the word biomass.
What happens to the biomass of the organism as trophic levels increase?
Energy and biomass decrease as the trophic levels increase.The general rule is that only about 10% of the total energy consumed from the previous trophic level will be passed onto the next level as useable energy. As a result it takes a large biomass of producers (plants) to support the total biomass of primary consumers. The primary consumers use the energy they obtain from the plants to maintain body temperature and move or it is lost as waste. Most energy is considered to be lost as heat. This pattern is repeated for secondary consumers and so on. (This is a generality; the amount of energy transferred changes in real situations.)All life is directly related to the original energy source, in most cases the sun. The higher up you go in the trophic level, the less life (overall biomass) that can be supported by the original energy source due to the loss of energy in each level.
When will biomass be available?
Biomass is currently in use in many places.
What are two ways to release biomass energy?
to burn biomass
How does pesticide residue become more built up as the food chain increases in terms of biomass?
Pesticides increase in higher trophic levels due to Bilogical magnification .
How do pesticides affect life?
Pesticides can affect life in many different ways. Pesticides help farmers increase their crop production. Pesticides can kill many types of insects and animals.
What is the future of biomass?
Biomass is likely to increase in importance as a fuel source as we continue to try to move towards renewable sources of energy.
What jobs need pesticides?
to destroy plant pests and to increase crop yield
What are the affects of biomass on our ozone layer?
The biomass seems to maintain a level of oxygen, from which ozone is made. If biomass is burned, chlorinated / brominated compounds are released into the atmosphere, some small part of whihc make it to the ozone layer to increase depletion.
Why can biomagnification be a problem in ecosystems?
an increase in chemicals and pesticides like "DDT" can damage an ecosystem
What so good about biomass?
Producing energy from biomass does not increase the net CO2 in the atmosphere, since the plants remove the CO2 from the atmosphere when growing, and simply give it back when burned. Biomass also can make use of land that would otherwise not be profitable.
Scientists know that some methods used to increase the food supply are dangerous to humans. Which method is known to be harmful to human health?
spreading pesticides with planes
Why does vendors soak pieces of mango in fresh water?
To increase its weight and to remove pesticides from the skin of the mangoes.
How can man distrub the balance of nature?
destruction of plants destruction of animals use of pesticides increase in population
There are many attempts to increase the amount of food produced which method is known to have harmful effects on the health of humans?
overuse of pesticides
There are many attempts to increase the amount of food produced. Which method is known to have harmful effects on the health of humans?
Overuse of pesticides
