What happens to the biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
What happens to biomass when you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
What happens to biomass as you move up its pyramid?
The Biomass decreases as the energy is used up on the way to the "top".
Why do organisms become larger as one moves up the food pyramid?
because the biomass is getting smaller
What happens to the amount of energy in the pyramid as it moves up the levels of the pyramid?
it increases
What happen to biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases
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 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.
How much energy moves up the enerygy pyramid?
0.01
The pyramid of mass demonstrates that?
A biomass pyramid represents the weight of food that is available in each level of a foodchain.For example, a pyramid of numbers may look like this:1 fox4 rabbits15 lettucesHowever, some things are enormous, and are eaten by many smaller animals, leading to upside down pyramids.2000 beetles1 oak treeSo, a pyramid of biomass is used to show how big everything is, making this pyramid the right way up again.1kg beetles200kg oak tree!!!!

When organisms become larger as they move up the food pyramid why does the biomass become smaller and why does the energy decrease?
Because the organisims are becoming larger
What does a biomas pyramid represent?
I think you might be talking about a biomass pyramid. I never heard of a biotic pyramid. Take a look at this website. It might help you. http://earth.rice.edu/MTPE/bio/biosphere/topics/energy/40_biomass.html
