caption_attribution_description: English&#x3a;&#32; Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. This is the startimage of the virtual microscope http://www.ecoscope.com/cybermic/index.htm of krill where you can click into details of the animal to get higher magnifications, like the gills, the feeding basket or the swimming legs, up to raster electron and transmission electron images, also some videos - there are many links to jumpoff sites for educators, like from the SCIENCE MAGAZINE. In natural hovering position - the red organs produce the bioluminescence - the hepatopancreas is filled with green phytoplankton, the food of krill, the strait gut in the back is filled with the empty shells of phytoplankton - in the front you see the compound eyeFrançais&#x202f;&#x3a;&#32; Photo en gros plan d'un krill de l'Antarctique (Euphausia superba). Le site ecoscope propose un microscope virtuel qui permet d'explorer les divers organes de ce krill.Sunda&#x3a;&#32; Hurang Antartika Euphausia superba. Ieu gambar minangka 'startimage' ti mikroskop virtual http://www.ecoscope.com/cybermic/index.htm hurang anu bisa diklik pikeun nempo gambar nu leuwih gedé, misalna insang atawa suku ojay nepi ka gambar transmisi éléktron, ogé sababaraha vidéo - aya tutumbu ka sababaraha loka, misalna ti kalawarta Science. Dina kaayaan keur ngalayang - organ-organ nu beureum ngahasilkeun bioluminesens - hépatopangkréas dieusi ku fitoplangton héjo, kadaharan hurang, beuteungna dieusi ku cangkang fitoplangton anu geus kosong - di hareup katempo panon majemuk
context_page_description: Biomass is a basic term in ecology, and in the energy production industry.
  Organic waste such as dead plant and animal material, animal dung and kitchen waste can be converted into gaseous fuel called biogas. The organic waste is decomposed by bacteria in biogas digesters to emit biogas which is essentially a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide.
  In ecology, biomass means the accumulation of living matter. It is the total living material in a given area or a biological community or group. Biomass is measured by weight, or by dry weight, per given area.
  In the energy industry, it refers to biological material which can be used as fuel or for industrial production. Biomass includes plant matter grown for use as biofuel, and also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibres, chemicals or heat. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes which can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic material which has been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum. It is usually measured by dry weight.
