MaxineOrganic matter such as crop residues, food scraps, manure, and wood waste can later become biomass when processed through methods like anaerobic digestion, fermentation, or combustion. These materials are broken down by microorganisms or burned to generate energy in the form of biofuels, heat, or electricity.

The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called the?
biomass!
How is biomass different from productivity?
Biomass refers to the total mass of living organisms in a given area, while productivity is the rate at which biomass is produced through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. In other words, biomass is the total amount of living matter, while productivity measures the growth or accumulation of biomass over time.
What is one advantage to biomass energy?
One advantage of biomass energy is that it is a renewable source of energy, as biomass materials can be replenished through sustainable practices like planting crops or forests.
How do you calculate the percentage biomass passed on from 1 from producers to primary consumers 2 from primary to secondary consumers 3 from secondary consumers to carnivores?
To calculate the percentage biomass passed on from producers to primary consumers, divide the biomass of primary consumers by the biomass of producers and multiply by 100. To calculate the percentage biomass passed on from primary to secondary consumers, divide the biomass of secondary consumers by the biomass of primary consumers and multiply by 100. To calculate the percentage biomass passed on from secondary consumers to carnivores, divide the biomass of carnivores by the biomass of secondary consumers and multiply by 100.
Which biome would have the biggest biomass?
Tropical rainforests typically have the biggest biomass due to the high levels of vegetation and diversity of plant and animal species that contribute to the overall biomass.
