secondary consumers

Decomposers

primary consumers

producers

- A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the total mass of organisms at each level of a food chain.

- The base of the pyramid supports the highest biomass.

- Option 1: Secondary Consumers

- These are carnivores that eat primary consumers.

- They occupy higher levels in the pyramid and have less biomass.

- Option 2: Decomposers

- Decomposers break down dead material and recycle nutrients.

- They are not typically represented in a pyramid of biomass but are crucial in nutrient cycling.

- Option 3: Primary Consumers

- These are herbivores that eat producers.

- They have more biomass than secondary consumers but less than producers.

- Option 4: Producers

- Producers, such as plants, occupy the base.

- They convert sunlight into energy and have the highest biomass in the food chain.

- Producers are at the base of a biomass pyramid.
