How do you calculate the percentage biomass passed on from 1 from producers to primary consumers 2 from primary to secondary consumers 3 from secondary consumers to carnivores?

e.g. ORGANISM BIOMASS Grass 1000 Herbivores 300 Small Carnivores 28 Large Carnivores 6 1) from producer to primary = (300/1000)x100 2) from primary to secondary = (28/300)x100 3) from secondary to carnivores = (6/28)x100 Hope this helps :)


Would the biomass of a tertiary consumer be larger or smaller than the biomass of a primary consumer?

The biomass of a tertiary consumer would be smaller than the biomass of a primary consumer. This is because energy is lost as it moves up the food chain through each trophic level. Tertiary consumers have less available energy and biomass compared to primary consumers.


What percentage of the world uses biomass?

Approximately 10% of the world's population uses biomass as their primary source of energy for cooking and heating. This reliance on biomass can have significant health and environmental impacts due to indoor air pollution and deforestation.


How is primary productivity measured in an ecosystem?

Primary productivity in an ecosystem is typically measured by calculating the amount of energy or biomass produced by plants through photosynthesis. This can be done by measuring the rate of oxygen production, tracking the growth of plant biomass, or using remote sensing techniques to estimate plant productivity.


Taking the earth as a whole is there a greater biomass of autotrophs or a greater biomass of heterotrophs?

There is a greater biomass of autotrophs on Earth, as they are the primary producers that convert sunlight into energy which sustains the entire food chain. Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs for their energy and biomass.

How is primary productively related to biomass?

Producers store chemical energy in the biomass, also known as organic material, and the rate by which producers in an ecosystem build biomass is primary productivity. Both dealing with building biomass by the action caused by producers. Hope this helps (:


What are the broad categories of aquatic biomass?

The broad categories of aquatic biomass are primary producers and secondary producers.


"Biomass is the future fuel"?

Biomass has many benefits, the primary one being that it cannot be depleted like fossil fuels. ... With an abundance of plants on Earth, biomass could be a primary source of renewable energy that's used as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels


What are some facts on biomass?

Actually, one interesting fact is that biomass supplies 14% of the world's primary energy consumption.


How does the US use biomass?

In the U.S., biomass today provides about 3-4% of primary energy. Biomass is used for heating wood stoves, cooking, transportation, and for electris power production.


How much biomass does the world use?

In the U.S., biomass today provides about 3-4% of primary energy. Biomass is used for heating wood stoves, cooking, transportation, and for electris power production.


Is a example of a secondary consumer a cow eating grass?

No- a cow is a primary consumer. Primary consumers are herbivores that convert plant biomass.

What type of organisms have the most biomass in a terrestrial food chain?

In terrestrial food chains, plants, specifically primary producers like grasses and trees, have the most biomass. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, forming the base of the food chain. Herbivores, which consume these plants, and carnivores, which feed on herbivores, have significantly less biomass compared to the primary producers above them. This pattern follows the ecological pyramid, where energy and biomass decrease at each trophic level.


What name given to describe the amount of plant biomass available for consumption by heterotrophs?

net primary productivity
