The organism is cleaned so that it does not have any other material on it. The wet mass of the organism is measured before the sample is dried in an incubator. The biomass is then calculated based on the wet mass of the sample.

The "Kilogram", with its decimal multiples and submultiples, seems like a good one.

How would a pyramid reflecting biomass be similar to or different from an energy pyramid?
A biomass pyramid looks like an energy pyramid, in that the largest biomass is contained in the producer level, and the least biomass is contained in the level of the highest order consumer. Basically, as you move up the energy pyramid, there is less energy available to support the biomass at each subsequent level.
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.
What is the advantage of using a biomass or energy pyramid rather than a pyramid of numbers?
Not all organisms have the same mass. Consider 1 whale versus 5,000 plankton - the whale has much greater mass, but only 0.1% of the total number of organisms. When you compare mass, you get a better idea of how much energy is actually available at that trophic level. Basically, they are better to understand.
Is biomass organic?
Biomass is the 'weight' of biological matter. often measured in a biomass pyramid.
What is the total dry mass of an organism?
The total dry mass of an organism equals biomass. How biomass is measured depends on why it is being measured. It can be measured as the natural mass or as it is. It can also be measured in terms of dry, organic mass. And sometimes just tissues count or just bones.
The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
biomass pyramid.
What are the environmental issues regarding the pyramid of biomass?
Pyramid of Bio mass is a three dimensional structure, which represents theBIo-mass of a particular area. Pyramid of Bio mass and environmental issues, which are very closely interlinked, that it at a glance represents the biomass of Primary , secondary , tertiary consumer and producer.
Which type of diagram shows the number of trophic levels an ecosystem supports?
A biomass pyramid.

Why is the pyramid of biomass in the English channel inverted?
The inverted biomass pyramid is where the weight of the producers is less than the weight of the consumers. The inverted pyramid is more prevalent in aquatic ecosystems, as in such an environment, the biomass depends on the reproductive ability and the lifespan of the species. The best example is the pond ecosystem, where the mass of the producers of the ecosystem, which are generally the phytoplanktons is always less than the mass of the consumers in the ecosystem, which are generally fish and other insects.
