Biomass refers to the total weight of living matter per unit area. In an ecosystem, the biomass decreases from the producer level to the consumer level.

-

• The given data depicts the inverted pyramid of biomass, usually found in aquatic ecosystem.

• Pyramid of energy is always upright

consumers.

Answer 2

3. Inverted pyramid of biomass
