since the lowest is primary and biomass is lost the higher you get in the trophic levels so the bottom one is the greatest one with bio ^.^

@Thugchick14 you may be right, but I wanna say 3) is made up of heterotrophs, because according to this website http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/environmental-philosophy/eduCommons/philosophy/environmental-philosophy/unearthed/chapter-4-ecosystems-and-top-consumers , the lowest level consists of decomposers, and decomposers are a type of heterotrophs.
