The conversion of biomass from a producer into a consumer is not efficient. This is because when a consumer incorporates the biomass of a producer into its own biomass, a large amount of energy is lost as heat and waste. Biomass is the measure of the total dry mass of organisms in a given area or an ecosystem.
