Question

There are many ways in which energy can flow through an aquatic ecosystem One way is as follows phytoplankton zooplankton shrimp moray eel shark This flow of energy can also be represented by a biomass pyramid OB O C Shark 100 kg OD Shrimp 10 000 kg Moray Eels 1 000 kg How is each trophic level of the biomass pyramid related to adjacent trophic levels O A As the trophic levels progress from phytoplankton to sharks there is a decrease in the amount of biomass but an increase in the amount of available energy Phytoplankton 1 000 000 kg Zooplankton 100 000 kg Each trophic level contains ten times as much biomass as the level below it and one tenth as much biomass as the leve above it Each trophic level contains one tenth as much biomass as the level below it and ten times as much biomass as the level above it As the trophic levels progress from phytoplankton to sharks there is an increase in both the number of individual organisms and the biomass
