What does greatest biomass mean?

Fatter and bigger, takes up more space =================== No, that would be the greatest volume. Mass is something you weigh on a scale, and measure in grams or kilograms. Some organisms are denser than others. In ecology, "biomass" is the mass of a group of living organisms.


Which would you expect to have the greatest biomass a population of rabbits or a population of foxes living in the same ecosystem?

a Population of rabbits because they're primary consumers and they contain more energy.


What would biomass tell us that a pyramid of numbers wouldn't?

A pyramid of numbers will only tell you the amount of organisms at each trophic level. A Biomass pyramid ignores the amount of organisms in favour of their biomass (dry weight) which in turn represents the amount of energy available at each trophic level.


What does biomass become when it decays?

Decaying Biomass becomes food for other organisms (bacteria, molds, yeasts, etc). These would typically release carbon dioxide and other volatile metabolites, and return nutrient enriched matter to the biologic cycle.


How cheap would biomass be?

biomass is not cheap..biomass would cost almost twice as much on average as gas or coal-fired electricity.


What would have the greatest biomass corn field mice or hawks?

mice Biomass is calculated by shaving all the hair, removing the nails and dehydrating the corpse because these things are not living tissue. If you look at the energy pyramid you would see that only 10% of the mice's availability is available to the hawk (mice predator). Logically you can only support 10% as much life (biomass).


Which would contain the greatest amount of thermal energy?

substances in gas form


What is Boimass?

Biomass is the total amount of all living material in a given area. Example- the total biomass in 1 cubic foot of your lawn would most likely include grass, worms, insects, and maybe some fungi.
