Question 24 • ALT Environmental Science S1 - 6665E

Which of the following has the most biomass?

Answer
A
quaternary consumers
B
secondary consumers
C
primary consumers
D
producers

Explanation

In a typical biomass pyramid, producers form the base and have the greatest total biomass. As energy passes from one trophic level to the next, much is lost, so less biomass is available to support primary, secondary, and quaternary consumers. Therefore, producers have the most biomass.
