Q: How the standing crop is measured in a particular trophic level?
  • A. As biomass
  • B. As energy pyramid
  • C. As total productivity
  • D. As gross productivity
Correct Answer: Option A - The standing crop in a particular trophic level is measured as the biomass. Biomass refers to the total mass of living organisms (Plants, animals and microorganisms) present at a particular time within a given trophic level. It can be expressed in terms of fresh or dry weight. Measuring biomass in terms of dry weight is considered more accurate because it does not include water content, which can vary widely.
