Burning stuff like wood, waste and other plant matter releases stored chemical energy in the form of heat, which can be used to turn shafts to produce electricity. Let's see this simple illustration of how biomass is used to generate electricity
Energy may not transfer to the next trophic level due to inefficiency in energy transfer, loss of energy through metabolic processes, or energy being lost as heat during each energy transfer. Additionally, some energy may be used for movement or other activities that do not result in biomass production.
The amount of energy produced by biomass can vary depending on the type of biomass and the conversion technology used. On average, biomass energy production can range from 1 to 10 watts per gram of biomass.
A pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy through different trophic levels, with energy decreasing as it moves up the pyramid due to inefficiencies in energy transfer. A pyramid of biomass, on the other hand, represents the total mass of organisms at each trophic level, showcasing the amount of living material present.
Both biomass and wind energy are natural sources of energy. Their differences are that biomass energy comes from waste materials whiles wind energy comes from the wind. Before energy can be produced from biomass, decomposition by micro-organisms must occur to produce biogas (energy), while for wind energy, the speed of the wind (energy of the wind) causes some turbine-like device to change mechanical energy to other forms of energy. Energy from biomass can also be obtained by burning it.
Energy from biomass is released through a process called combustion, where the biomass is burned to produce heat. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity. Biomass can also be converted into biofuels like ethanol through processes such as fermentation or chemical reactions to release energy.
Assuming 10% energy transfer efficiency between trophic levels, the greenfly would receive approximately 60 gm^2 of energy (10% of the rose plant's biomass). This is calculated by multiplying the biomass of the rose plant (600 gm^2) by the energy transfer efficiency (10%).
As you move up the biomass pyramid, the amount of biomass decreases because energy is lost as you move up trophic levels through energy transfer from one organism to another. This is due to the inefficiency of energy transfer as organisms consume one another.
Energy may not transfer to the next trophic level due to inefficiency in energy transfer, loss of energy through metabolic processes, or energy being lost as heat during each energy transfer. Additionally, some energy may be used for movement or other activities that do not result in biomass production.
no one uses biomass energy
Biomass energy is widely used. One state that uses biomass is Oregon.
When biomass is burnt there is no change in matter i.e matter can neither be created nor destroyed, so total mass of product remains same as that of initial reactants. As for as energy is concerned it is transferred from chemical energy to heat and light energy, which can be further manipulated into mechanical energy or other forms of energy.
biomass energy is located everywhere on this planet!
A small biomass of producers can support a consumer population when there is enough energy available from the producers to sustain the consumer species. This relationship is dependent on factors such as energy transfer efficiency and the specific nutritional requirements of the consumer species. If the producers can replenish their biomass efficiently and there is minimal energy loss along the food chain, a small biomass of producers can indeed support a consumer population.
i think its: thermal energy (from source of biomass being heated) ---> kinetic energy (from steam turning the turbine) ---> electrical energy (generator)
The amount of energy produced by biomass can vary depending on the type of biomass and the conversion technology used. On average, biomass energy production can range from 1 to 10 watts per gram of biomass.
It is a biomass becauseit is burned for energy.
if u burn Biomass it will turn into energy
