The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
biomass pyramid.
What does a biomass pyramid present?
Biomass - the total dry weight of the organisms in a trophic levelBiomass Pyramid - a diagram showing the biomass at each trophic level of a food chainA pyramid of biomass shows energy lost in each trophic level while a pyramid of numbers shows the numbers of the organisms in each trophic level
What the total amount of organic matter present in any trophic level?
Biomass pyramid
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.
What is the advantage of using a biomass or energy pyramid rather than a pyramid of numbers?
Not all organisms have the same mass. Consider 1 whale versus 5,000 plankton - the whale has much greater mass, but only 0.1% of the total number of organisms. When you compare mass, you get a better idea of how much energy is actually available at that trophic level. Basically, they are better to understand.
Which type of diagram shows the number of trophic levels an ecosystem supports?
A biomass pyramid.
The total mass of living tissue at each trophic level can be shown bY?
biomass pyramid.
Are biomass and trophic level related?
Each trophic level contains one-tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it.
Which type of pyramid shows the amount of living tissue at trophic level in an ecosystem?
a biomass pyramid
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.

Whats the difference between biomass pyramid and energy pyramid and number pyramid?
== == Of the trophic levels of the ecological pyramid, there are three ways to describe the flow of energy in food chains. Numbers, energy and biomass. See the related link for more information.

What is the difference between a biomass pyramid and a pyramid of number?
Biomass pyramids show how much biomass is present in the organisms at each trophic level. A pyramid of numbers does not deal with living organisms. Source: chacha.com This, again, is my brainless answer! However, please take it seriously, for I found it in a real website this time. -_-
