In general a larger biomass in primary producers for a trophic pyramid:
A)can support more biomass at higher trophic levels because more energy is available between the level of primary producer and primary consumer.
B)does not affect the amount of biomass that can be supported at the level of primary producer.
C)can support less biomass at higher levels because more energy is lost between the level of primary producer and primary consumer.
