A pyramid of biomass shows the mass of all of the organisms in each trophic level of an ecosystem. From the biomass pyramid to the upright ladder, the kilograms of plant matter needed to support the other tropic levels in this ecosystem is 9000 kg.
In ecology, the biomass pyramid is a graphical representation designed to show the quantity of biological or organic matter observed in an organism.
The ecological biomass pyramid starts with the primary producer which is usually a green plant.
- Followed by the herbivores(animals that feed) on the green plants. They are the primary consumers.
- The carnivores are secondary consumers that feed on herbivores.
- Then the peak of the pyramid is the tertiary consumers which are called omnivores. (i.e animals that feed on plants & animals).
The amount of mass consumed by the primary consumer is equivalent to the total amount of mass in the primary consumer. However, as we go up the pyramid, the mass depreciates.
Therefore, we can conclude that the amount of kilograms of plant matter needed to support the other tropic levels in this ecosystem is 9000 kg.
