Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Question

The question asks which of the three ecosystem components (carnivores, producers, herbivores) will have the least amount of biomass.

Step 2: Review the Information Provided

The text explains that:

  • Producers (mostly plants) have a much greater biomass than all consumers combined.
  • Herbivores typically have a greater biomass than carnivores.
  • Omnivores typically have less biomass than carnivores.
Step 3: Analyze the Information

Based on the information:

  • Producers have the most biomass.
  • Herbivores have more biomass than carnivores.
  • Therefore, carnivores have the least biomass among the three options.
