Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There would generally be more biomass of secondary consumers than tertiary consumers in an ecosystem. This is because as you move up the food chain, there is less energy available and less biomass accumulated. Therefore, there are usually more herbivores (primary consumers) than carnivores (secondary and tertiary consumers) in an ecosystem, and more biomass at each lower trophic level.
