Detailed explanation-1: -The total amount of living tissue within a given trophic level is called its biomass. The amount of biomass a given trophic level can support is determined, in part, by the amount of energy available.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biomass decreases with each trophic level. There is always more biomass in lower trophic levels than in higher ones. Because biomass decreases with each trophic level, there are always more autotrophs than herbivores in a healthy food web. There are more herbivores than carnivores.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biomass is the mass of living organisms maintained at each trophic level. It can be calculated by multiplying mass of living organisms and their number in an ecosystem. Q. Assertion :Ecology is the study of the relationship between living organisms and their environment.
