Answer: b. Biomass
Humans are dependent upon biomass for their food supply. Biomass is the organic matter that is produced by the living organisms during their life cycle. The biomass is transferred from one organism to other organism in a food chain when one organism is consumed by other organism in order to obtain food and energy. Human beings are hetrotrophic organisms, which means they are dependent upon plants and animals for their food and energy requirement. The food is a form of biomass, which is being transferred among the living beings in the food chain.
