Which of the following is the correct definition of biomass

The total amount of organic matter from plants and animals in a habitat.

Explanation:

Biomass can be defined in ecological terms and in industrial (environmental science) terms. Ecologically, it is defined by the total mass of organisms (not organic matter) given a specific area or ecosystem. This definition is not in the choices therefore the industrial term for environmental science should be appropriate. In environmental science, biomass is the organic matter from living organisms whether wastes or dead animals or plants that can be used as fuel in powering power plants to produce electricity (mainly). Therefore from that definition, the correct answer is: All materials that form from the remains of living organisms.
