The greatest biomass on Earth is found in plants, particularly in forests, where trees and other vegetation contribute significantly to total biomass. Phytoplankton in the oceans also represent a substantial portion of biomass, as they form the base of the marine food web. Additionally, certain types of bacteria and fungi in soil ecosystems can have high biomass, contributing to nutrient cycling and decomposition. Overall, autotrophic organisms, especially those in terrestrial and aquatic environments, dominate global biomass.
What else can I help you with?
Which would you expect to have the greatest biomass a population of rabbits or a population of foxes living in the same ecosystem?
A population of rabbits would be expected to have greater biomass due to their lower trophic level position and larger population size compared to the population of foxes, which occupy a higher trophic level and have a smaller population size.
Which part of a mango tree would contain cells with the greatest number of chloroplasts?
The leaves of a mango tree would contain cells with the greatest number of chloroplasts. This is because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, and leaves are the main site of photosynthesis in plants.
Which would you expect to have the greatest biomass a population of rabbits or a population of foxes living the same ecosystem?
Ecosystems are based on the amount of energy in the first or lowest level: trees, grasses, and shrubs. The next level can get only 10% of the first level to use for growth and reproduction. These are those that eat the plants (herbivores) of the first level. Rabbits would be included in this second level. Only 10% of 10% of the energy of the first level can be passed on to the third level, the carnivores. Those include foxes. Rabbits would be 10% of the biomass of the ecosystem (at most) and foxes only 1% (at most).
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.
What organism doe not contain DNA?
None! If Any Did NOT Then They Would Be Completely Untraceable Even To Human And Technology Standards.
What does greatest biomass mean?
Fatter and bigger, takes up more space =================== No, that would be the greatest volume. Mass is something you weigh on a scale, and measure in grams or kilograms. Some organisms are denser than others. In ecology, "biomass" is the mass of a group of living organisms.
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.
Which would you expect to have the greatest biomass a population of rabbits or a population of foxes living in the same ecosystem?
A population of rabbits would be expected to have greater biomass due to their lower trophic level position and larger population size compared to the population of foxes, which occupy a higher trophic level and have a smaller population size.
How cheap would biomass be?
biomass is not cheap..biomass would cost almost twice as much on average as gas or coal-fired electricity.
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).
Which would contain the greatest amount of thermal energy?
substances in gas form
Would the biomass of the owl pellet be different if it was fresh from the mouth of the owl?
Yes, the biomass of an owl pellet would be different if it were fresh from the mouth of the owl compared to a dried or older pellet. Fresh pellets contain undigested remains of prey, including fur, feathers, and bones, along with moisture. As the pellet dries over time, it loses water weight, resulting in a lower biomass. Therefore, fresh pellets would be heavier and contain more organic material than older, dried pellets.
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.
Which part of a mango tree would contain cells with the greatest number of chloroplasts?
The leaves of a mango tree would contain cells with the greatest number of chloroplasts. This is because chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, and leaves are the main site of photosynthesis in plants.
What is a nonrenewable biomass?
a nonrenewable biomass would be burning word or cutting down trees.
The largest phylum in the animal kingdom is made up of what?
If by largest you mean greatest biomass then it would have to be the round worms phylum Nematoda if you mean the greatest number of species then it would have to be anthropoda as it includes the insects. If you mean by size then it would have to Chordata as it includes the whales. If by largest you mean greatest biomass then it would have to be the round worms phylum Nematoda if you mean the greatest number of species then it would have to be anthropoda as it includes the insects.

Would drink cold water cause diarrhea?
If the water is untreated it can contain organisms that will cause diarrhea.
