Question

Biomass refers to the overall volume of an organism or the total volume of all the organisms that exist in a given trophic level.

  1. True
  2. False

hintHint:

Each trophic level consists of a volume of a group of organisms with similar trails.

The correct answer is 'False'.


    • The statement "Biomass refers to the overall volume of an organism or the total volume of all the organisms that exist in a given trophic level" is true. 
    • It refers to the total quantity of living organisms, either plants, animals, or any other species living in a population per unit area or volume. 
    • The organisms in that particular area call it their habitat.

    Biomass is often measured through dried organic mass per unit area.
