Which of the following components of an ecosystem does not contribute to the biomass of the system?
Answer Details
Habitat is not a component that contributes to the biomass of an ecosystem.
Producers (plants), consumers (herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores), and micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, etc.) are all living organisms that contribute to the biomass of an ecosystem, which refers to the total mass of living matter in a given area. Habitat, on the other hand, refers to the physical and biological environment in which these living organisms reside, and does not have a direct contribution to the biomass of the system.
