Question

what happens to the amount of biomass as you move from one trophic level to the next ? Explain why this happens.

Answer 1

on average, only about 10% of energy stored as biomass in one trophic level-e.g, primary producers-gets stored as biomass in the next trophic level-e.g, primary consumers. Put another way. net productivity usually drops by a factor of ten from one trophic level of the next.
