The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
What trophic level represents the largest biomassin this ecosystem?
primary biomass is lost the higher you ger in the trophic levels
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 type of diagram shows the number of trophic levels an ecosystem supports?
A biomass pyramid.
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called?
biomass
Are biomass and trophic level related?
Each trophic level contains one-tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it.
Was is the total amount of organic matter within a trophic level is called?
Biomass is the total amount of organic matter present in any trophic level.
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
biomass pyramid.
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 trophic level represents the largest biomassin this ecosystem?
primary biomass is lost the higher you ger in the trophic levels
What is the total amount of living tissue within a trophic level?
BIOMASS
What is the weight of tissue and organic matter found at a trophic level?
Biomass
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 type of diagram shows the number of trophic levels an ecosystem supports?
A biomass pyramid.
The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is what?
Biomass
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.
