To work out a pyramid of biomass, the dry masses of an organism is used because two of the same organisms could live in two different environments where one environment could be suffering from a drout whereas the other could live in a rainforest so to keep it fair they dry it out.

What three things are ecological pyramids used to represent?
An ecological pyramid was a concept developed by Charles Elton. It is a graphical representation designed to show the number of organisms, biomass of an ecosystem and energy relationships.
Does biomass energy only come from plants?
Biomass is material derived from living organisms. The term biomass for energy is often used to refer to plant based materials, but it can equally apply to animal, as well as vegetable matter--the key is 'living organisms'. So no, biomass engergy does not ONLY come from plants.
What is the word biomass mean?
Biomass refers to organic materials or living organisms that can be used as a source of energy. Examples include wood, crops, and waste materials that can be converted into biofuels.
What is the amount of living matter in a habitat called?
The amount of living matter in a habitat is called biomass. This includes all living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms present in a specific area. Biomass is often used to measure the productivity and health of an ecosystem.
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the what?
The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the biomass. Biomass represents the organic material that can be consumed or used for energy transfer between trophic levels in an ecosystem.
What units are used in a pyramid of biomass?
individuals
Why Dry masses of organisms?
To work out a pyramid of biomass, the dry masses of an organism is used because two of the same organisms could live in two different environments where one environment could be suffering from a drought whereas the other could live in a rain forest so to keep it fair they dry it out.
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 does the biomass of organisms decrease along food chains?
Because The energy is used for things like respiration and excretion. 10% of the biomass is used up from excretion.

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!!!!

Explain why an energy pyramid is used o represent the amount of energy at each trophic level?
Because a pyramid of energy distribution can be an example of numbers of organisms in a population, energy distribution, and a measure of biomass per level. The base of the pyramid or triangle is the largest, and usually represents plants and autotrophs. Because is is the largest, there are the most organisms, most energy, and most biomass. As you go higher up the pyramid or triangle, the shape gets smaller which represents the number of total organisms getting smaller, the amount of energy getting smaller and the amount of biomass getting smaller.

The energy in biomass is used to make electricity how is the energy stored in biomass?
chemical bonds
What organisms does phytonmining?
Plants are the organisms used for phytomining. If plants can absorbs the low concentrations of metals in soil, the metals can be concentrated in the biomass of the plants and then extracted from the plant material when harvested.
