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 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.
How can a biomass pyramid be inverted?
It means its not a pyramid shape and this can happen because the consumers of the producer can be less
What are the 3 types of food pyramids?
The 3 Types of Food Pyramids: Energy Pyramid Pyramid of Biomass Pyramid of Numbers
Which type of diagram shows the number of trophic levels an ecosystem supports?
A biomass pyramid.

What happens to the biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
What happen to biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?

What happens to biomass when you move up the biomass pyramid?

Is biomass organic?
Biomass is the 'weight' of biological matter. often measured in a biomass pyramid.
Path energy takes from producers consumers decomposers is a called?
biomass , you put it in a pyramid, so a pyramid of biomass.
How is energy lost in a biomass pyramid?
its not
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.
At the top of a pyramid of biomass are the?
tertiary consumers
What units are used in a pyramid of biomass?
individuals
What does a biomass pyramid measure?
Biomass. Pyramids of biomass and number are scientific models to represent all the things eaten in a foodchain. Pyramids of number are flawed as a great many insects may feed on a tree, for example, producing a narrow base to the pyramid. Pyramids of biomass are a better model as they show the dry mass of each part of the food chain and give a better indication of the energy passed between trophic layers. Biomass pyramids show the abundance of organisms at each trophic level.
