Q: A pyramid of biomass is a diagram that represents the population at each level of the food chain. According to it,________, occupies the base with the highest biomass.
  • A. Producers
  • B. Decomposers
  • C. Primary consumers
  • D. Secondary consumers
Correct Answer: Option A - The pyramid of biomass represents the amount of living or recently dead biological material present at different trophic levels in an ecosystem. In a typical ecosystem, producers, such as plants or phytoplankton, occupy the base of the pyramid and have the highest biomass. This is because they are the largest group and are responsible for producing energy through photosynthesis, which supports all other trophic levels.
