Why pyramids are used to show food chain of of biomass |
|
Answer» a pyramid of BIOMASS is a better diagram to use.A pyramid of biomass shows the total mass of organisms at each STAGE of a food chain. In GENERAL, all producers have a higher biomass than the primary consumer, so a pyramid will always be produced. The total energy (and biomass) present at a lower tier of the pyramid, MUST be greater than the higher tiers in order to SUPPORT the energy requirements of the subsequent organisms. |
