Detailed explanation-1: -Moving from primary producers to top consumers in a terrestrial food chain, a part of energy is lost in respiration. Therefore, primary producers comprise the greatest biomass in these food chains.
Detailed explanation-2: -The producers have the highest biomass in a terrestrial ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-3: -The biomass is maximum in a forest ecosystem because of their size and longevity of trees. Forest ecosystem has formed the most massive and complex ecosystems of the earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -The greatest biomass amount is found at the base trophic level that includes the producers. Since the primary consumers rely on producers for sustenance, the biomass amount of the producers would, therefore, be a limiting factor to the biomass of the primary consumers.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The domain that represents the highest biomass on earth is bacteria. In a terrestrial food chain, the biomass of an organism decreases as you move to high trophic levels.
