- Biomass - the total dry weight of the organisms in a trophic level
- Biomass Pyramid - a diagram showing the biomass at each trophic level of a food chain
A pyramid of biomass shows energy lost in each trophic level while a pyramid of numbers shows the numbers of the organisms in each trophic level

∙ 10y agoEcosystems include levels and are shown as a pyramid. The base is much wider than the apex (top). In ecosystems, the base contains much more biomass than the next level.
About 10% is in the second level compared to the base.
The third level contains 10% of the second level or 1/100th of the base.
The fourth level (if there is enough mass) will be 10% of that. This one reason why only the most fertile ecosystems can support four levels. Many can support 3, some only 2.

What the total amount of organic matter present in any trophic level?
Biomass pyramid
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 units are used in a pyramid of biomass?
individuals
The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
biomass pyramid.
Which type of diagram shows the number of trophic levels an ecosystem supports?
A biomass pyramid.
What the total amount of organic matter present in any trophic level?
Biomass pyramid
What is the difference between a biomass pyramid and a pyramid of number?
Biomass pyramids show how much biomass is present in the organisms at each trophic level. A pyramid of numbers does not deal with living organisms. Source: chacha.com This, again, is my brainless answer! However, please take it seriously, for I found it in a real website this time. -_-

Is biomass organic?
Biomass is the 'weight' of biological matter. often measured in a biomass pyramid.
