What is the total mass of all organisms in a food chain?

biomass


The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the what?

The total amount of tissue of all the organisms in a food chain is called the biomass. Biomass represents the organic material that can be consumed or used for energy transfer between trophic levels in an ecosystem.


What are the concept of an ecological pyramid?

The ecological pyramid is basically the food chain. So, the producers (plants) are at the bottom, then herbivores (plant eaters), then above them are the omnivores or carnivores, and then the most powerful and top of the food chain animals are at the top of the pyramid.


At the top of a pyramid of biomass are the?

top predators like apex predators and carnivores. They have fewer individuals but more biomass because they consume organisms lower on the food chain.


What is biomass and which type of organism will have the most biomass?

Biomass refers to the total weight of living organisms in a given area or ecosystem. In general, plants have the most biomass because they form the base of the food chain and are able to convert energy from the sun into organic matter through photosynthesis.


Are organisms at higher tropic levels fewer in numbers than those at lower tropic levels?

Yes, organisms at higher trophic levels tend to have fewer individuals compared to those at lower trophic levels. This is because energy is lost as it is transferred up the food chain, resulting in a pyramid-shaped distribution of biomass and population numbers.


How is biomass lost in a food chain?

Biomass is lost in a food chain primarily through energy transfer inefficiencies, as only about 10% of energy is passed from one trophic level to the next. The remainder is lost as heat through metabolic processes, respiration, and movement, as well as through waste produced by organisms. Additionally, not all parts of consumed organisms are digestible or utilized, contributing to further biomass loss. This results in a decreasing amount of biomass and energy available at each successive trophic level.


What plant is important too a swamp and why is it important?

Mangroves because that is where the smallest organisms in the food chain live.


Does energy and biomass increase or decrease as you go through the food chain?

Energy and biomass decrease as you move up the food chain due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy is lost as it moves through trophic levels. Organisms higher up in the food chain have less energy available to them compared to those lower down.


What does a biomass show?

The biomass pyramid is a chart that is drawn to scale. It displays the biomass at each stage in the food chain.


What is the process of all biomass on earth is generated?

Biomass on Earth is generated through photosynthesis, where plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into organic matter. This organic matter is then consumed by other organisms in the food chain, creating a continuous cycle of biomass generation.


The marine food chain in order from smallest to largest?

There are multiple food chains within the marine world. But a good example for you- Smallest organisms in marine environment- zooplankton Largest organisms in marine environment- whales Zooplankton--> Blue Whales (by filter feeding) Is a pretty easy food chain to remember.
