Answer:

According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is never created or destroyed but it can change from one form to another. Most of the biomass in a food web gets converted at each trophic level and it no longer remains apart of the food web. Most of the biomass is released into the atmosphere in the form of heat and hence cannot be transferred to the other trophic level. Also, matter is used up by the organism itself and converted into different forms. Most of the matter might get accumulated in the soil when the organisms of a trophic level die.

5 Why is it easier to digest sour milk than fresh milk?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Sour milk contains less lactose than the fresh milk, as the sour milk gets converted to lactic acid and bacteria which enhances the digestion process. One important reason is that proteins take more time in getting digest than other nutrients. We know that fresh milk has a large amount of lactose.

Explanation:

The lactic acid bacteria have many benefits. They improve lactose digestion in the stomach. The lactase activity of the bacteria performs  the task of digesting lactose in the product once it reaches the intestine thus fuelling the process of digestion in case of sour milk.

In fresh milk, the casein protein in contact with milk forms curdles which are difficult to digest.
