Which group of organisms has the least biomass?
A tropic level is the position that an organism occupies in the food chain. The trophic level that has the least biomass is trophic level 5, which is composed of apex predators.
What level of classification contain the least number of organisms?
Species
What level of the food pyramid contains with the least biomass?
Those at the top of the food pyramid contain consumers with the smallest number and therefore, with the least total biomass compared to the layers below them.
Do the biomass of organisms in a typical ecological pyramid increases at each level?
The biomass of each organism decreases with each level. With less energy at higher trophic levels, there are usually fewer organisms as well. Organisms tend to be larger in size at higher trophic levels, but their smaller numbers result in less biomass. Biomass is the total mass of organisms at a trophic level.
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 level of the food pyramid contains consumers with the least biomass?
Those at the top of the food pyramid contain consumers with the smallest number and therefore, with the least total biomass compared to the layers below them.
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 quality does a pyramid of biomass express?
Biomass pyramids show how much biomass is present in the organisms at each trophic level. In other words, the weight at each level.
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. -_-
