How does the decay of biomass relate to a food chain or food webs?
The decay of biomass plays a critical role in food chains and food webs by releasing nutrients from dead organisms back into the ecosystem. This nutrient recycling process supports the growth of plants and primary producers, which are then consumed by herbivores and passed up the food chain to higher trophic levels. Without decomposition, nutrients would remain trapped in dead organic matter and unavailable to support the entire ecosystem.
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the what?
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the biomass. Biomass represents the organic material that can be consumed or used for energy transfer between trophic levels in an ecosystem.
Does energy and biomass increase or decrease as you go through the food chain?
Energy and biomass decrease as you move up the food chain due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is lost as it moves through trophic levels. Organisms higher up in the food chain have less energy available to them compared to those lower down.
How would a chart showing the concentration of toxins differ from a biological pyramid of biomass for the same food chain?
i believe the concentration becomes greater as you move up the food chain, or up the biomass pyramid, meaning that the highest level of consumer has the highest amount of toxicity. I always thought it was the other way around but I've done some research and that's what I found.
At the top of a pyramid of biomass are the?
top predators like apex predators and carnivores. They have fewer individuals but more biomass because they consume organisms lower on the food chain.

What does a biomass show?
The biomass pyramid is a chart that is drawn to scale. It displays the biomass at each stage in the food chain.
What does a biomass pyramid represent?
A pyramid of biomass shows how much energy the organism on a food chain is getting from its food.
In a food chain which organisms have the smallest numbers and smallest total biomass?
Those at the top of the food chain.
What is the total mass of all organisms in a food chain?
biomass
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the what?
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the biomass. Biomass represents the organic material that can be consumed or used for energy transfer between trophic levels in an ecosystem.
What organism has the greatest biomass in the food chain?
The Producers. Tends to be the bottom of the pyramid if you are studying a pyramid.
What happens to the biomass as you move up the food chain?
Biomass accumulates Think of it as a pyramid If the animals at the bottom consume a little then the next step up will have a little more in them because they just absorbed all of it when you get to the top you will have the highest concentration in the entire food chain.
