2. Study the energy and biomass pyramid your group created and answer the
corresponding questions below.

Q1. Which group of organisms has the greatest biomass? Which has the greatest
energy?
Q2. Which group of organisms has the least biomass? Which has the least
energy?
Q3. What happens to the amount of biomass from the bottom to the top of the
pyramid.

Assessment 3) 1. What did you notice on the amount of energy transfer from the bottom to the
(EXPLAIN) top of the pyramid? Is it decreasing or increasing?
(5 minutes) 2. How much percentage of biomass or energy is being transferred from one
trophic level to the next trophic level?

Recitation: The teacher will present two picture of biomass pyramid and students will
going to answer the questions being asked by the teacher.
