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 is Boimass?
Biomass is the total amount of all living material in a given area. Example- the total biomass in 1 cubic foot of your lawn would most likely include grass, worms, insects, and maybe some fungi. Biomass is also used to describe fuel sources from living or recently living organisms. Wood, waste fuels, and alcohol fuels are all examples of this kind of biomass.
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.
Would a perfect pyramid angle be 45 degrees?

Which section of an energy pyramid is the largest and Why?
A pyramid is bigger at the bottom and small and pointy at the top. so its bigger at the bottom, otherwise it would have been called an energy upside-down pyramid =). But anyway, energy enters a food chain from the sun. some energy and biomass is lost at each stage of a food chain as feaces, movement energy and heat energy (especiall birds and mammals). therefore only a small amount of energy and biomass is incorporated into a consumer's body and transferred to the next feeding level. the loss of energy and biomass at each stage is a representation of why the pyramid gets smaller at the top.
What would have the greatest biomass corn field mice or hawks?
mice Biomass is calculated by shaving all the hair, removing the nails and dehydrating the corpse because these things are not living tissue. If you look at the energy pyramid you would see that only 10% of the mice's availability is available to the hawk (mice predator). Logically you can only support 10% as much life (biomass).
