Plants that are primarily adapted for rapid growth and high photosynthetic efficiency, such as certain types of herbaceous plants and algae, typically have more biomass dedicated to photosynthetic tissue compared to supportive tissue. These plants often have soft, flexible stems and broad leaves, allowing them to maximize light capture while minimizing structural support. In contrast, woody plants allocate more biomass to supportive tissues like lignin to withstand gravitational forces and environmental stress.

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.

How much more electricity does biomass energy generate than coal?

I am pretty sure that LESS electricity is generated with biomass, meaning that its use is not as common as coal.


Why is biomass better than coal?

Biomass is considered better than coal because it is renewable and emits less carbon dioxide when burned. Biomass can also be sourced locally, reducing transportation emissions, and it can be a more sustainable option in terms of resource management.


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.


Pros and cons of biomass?

Pros of biomass is that it's renewable, made locally with minimal cost, promotes energy independence and converts waste into fuel. Cons of biomass is that large areas of land are needed, the geography of a country will limit the type of biomass used to create energy and some materials are not available year round.

Which is more efficient in converting biomass of producers to biomass of consumers -a meat eaten or plant eater?

Plants are more efficient in converting biomass from producers to consumers compared to meat. This is because energy is lost at each trophic level when animals consume plants, resulting in less biomass being transferred overall. Additionally, meat production involves additional energy costs such as animal growth and maintenance, making it less efficient than plant-based diets.
