Question
A pyramid of biomass is based on the number of organisms at each trophic level
ATrue
BFalse
Medium Open in App Solution Verified by Toppr
Correct option is B)
The pyramidal representation of trophic levels of different organisms based on their ecological position [producer to final consumer] is called as an ecological pyramid. Pyramid of biomass is usually determined by collecting all organisms occupying each trophic level separately and measuring their dry weight. The biomass of a species is expressed in terms of fresh or dry weight. Measurement of biomass in terms of dry weight is more accurate. Each trophic level has a certain mass of living material at a particular time called as the standing crop.
So the given statement is false'.
