In a Typical Grassland Community,which of the Following Has the Smallest

Question

In a typical grassland community,which of the following has the smallest biomass?
A)hawk
B)snake
C)shrew
D)grasshopper
E)grass

Accepted Answer

The smaller animals such as grasshoppers, shrews, and snakes depend on the plants (grass) for their food and energy, therefore the biomass of the grass is larger compared to these animals. Hawks, on the other hand, are predators that feed on the herbivores (like grasshoppers, shrews, and snakes) and their biomass is much smaller than the biomass of the grass.
