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.

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.
Which level of a food pyramid contains the least amount of the original energy provided by the sun?
A) Producers B) Herbivores C) Carnivores D) Top predators
What aquatic ecosystem contains the least amount of saltwater?
The absolute least amount salt would be freshwater, but brackish water - usually being a combination of seawater and freshwater - contains less salt than seawater.
Why is a pyramid the best shape to show how energy move through and ecosystem?
A pyramid can represent the energy transfer in an ecosystem in two ways: First, right side up a pyramid can represent the number or volume of organisms at each level of the food chain. The energy transferred from each organism lower down on the food chain to the next higher up is not 100 percent efficient, so fewer organisms can exist at each higher level of the food chain. Inverted, the pyramid is a simple model of how much total energy it takes to produce a single organism at a level in the food chain. organisms at the bottom taking the least, and those at the top taking the most total energy.
What type of pyramid shows energy flow through an ecosystem?
An energy pyramid portrays the flow of energy by displaying the plants at the bottom, who get the most energy from the sun, and then gradually moving up to herbivores as it shows the transferal of energy from the plants to the herbivores and how the amount of energy received is significantly less than the original amount. The pyramid then shows how energy is passed from carnivore to carnivore and decreases in amount each time. The pyramid gets smaller as you reach the top of the food chain because not as much energy can be acquired by eating an animal that has eaten another animal that has eaten a plant that received energy from the sun. The energy decreases as it is passed from one creature to the next and the pyramid depicts this as it gets smaller toward the top. Helpful?
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.
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.
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.
How does the level of an energy pyramid compare to the bottom level of that energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
How does the top level of energy pyramid compare to the bottom level of that energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
How does The top level of an energy Pyramid compare to the bottom level of an energy pyramid?
it contains the least amount of the total energy.
Which trophic level contains the most available food energy?
On an ecological pyramid or in a food chain, typically, the highest trophic levels have the least amount of energy from the sun available for the next highest level. In a typical food chain, this would be the tertiary consumer level.
Where is the least energy found in the energy pyramid?
The last level of the energy pyramid...secondary,tertiary...
What is the Level of nourishment in a food chain?
The food pyramid begins with producers (plants) on the first level, it then goes to primary consumers (eat producers) on the second level, the third level is made up of secondary consumers and so on. All of these levels come together to make the food pyramid. There must be the most producers and the least top order consumers in order to maintain a balanced ecosystem.
Which level of a food pyramid contains the least amount of the original energy provided by the sun?
A) Producers B) Herbivores C) Carnivores D) Top predators
What are facts about the food pyramid?
the bottom of the pyramid is the healthiest and the top is the least for ur diet
Which trophic level receives the least amount of available energy Tertiary consumers Secondary consumers Primary consumers Producers?
tertiary consumers
