In a biomass pyramid, the amount of biomass typically decreases from the bottom to the top. This decline occurs because energy is lost at each trophic level due to factors such as metabolic processes and heat loss, which means that less energy is available to support higher trophic levels. As a result, fewer organisms can be sustained at each successive level, leading to a lower biomass at the top of the pyramid compared to the base.

How can a biomass pyramid be inverted?
A biomass pyramid can be inverted if there are more primary consumers (herbivores) than producers (plants) in an ecosystem. This can happen, for example, if there is a high turnover rate of producers or if primary consumers are unusually efficient at consuming plant material. This situation is not common in most ecosystems but can occur in cases of ecological imbalance or disruption.

What are three things that an ecological pyramid shows that food webs and food chains do not show?
Pyramids of numbers The population of each organism in a food chain can be shown in a chart called a pryramid of numbers. the more organisms there are, the longer each bad would be. the producer in a food chain always goes at the bottom of the pyramid or numbers. Pyramids of numbers show: * That energy is lost to the surroundings as the pyramid goes from one level to the next, so there are fewer organisms at each level in the food chain. *Sometimes the pyramid of numbers doesnt look like a pyramid at all. This could happen if the producer was a large plant such as a tree, or if one of the animals was very small. *pyramids of numbers put the actual amount of organisms into context too, instead of a long line of producers and consumers, or a very confusing web, joined together in some way Hope this helps
What does a ecological pyramid show that a food chain or food web doesn't show?
A food chain shows how energy passes from three three-four levels of an ecosystem - with only one living thing being in each level per food chain. These only describe certain animals. A food web links together multiple chains, showing how energy is passed throughout an entire ecosystem (or at least a part of it). In a nutshell, food webs indicate how energy is passed realistically, as chains limit down the realism.
What happen when solvent is equal to solute?
When the amount of solute is equal to the amount of solvent, the solution becomes saturated. This means that no more solute can dissolve in the solvent at that temperature. Any additional solute added will remain as undissolved solid at the bottom of the container.
What happen to biomass as you move up the biomass pyramid?
It Decreases

What ecosystem might have a pyramid of numbers where there are less producers than consumers?
If the producers happen to be large trees, they can be small in number but still have a large biomass, therefore allowing them to support a community of more consumers.
What would happen to the food pyramid?

When ah rancher puts cattle in a pasture what will happen to the amount of grass in it?
In the short-term, because of the activity of grazing, the amount of grass decreases. When these cattle are removed, forage biomass will increase back to normal pre-grazing levels, or may increase because of the manure and trampling activity that encourages regrowth of vegetation.
