c) percentage of energy thats passed through each trophic level
d) amount of living tissue within a trophic area

Explanation:

For Question 16: A biome is a large - scale ecological unit characterized by distinct climate and characteristic plant and animal communities. The Amazon rainforest is a type of biome. South America is a continent, biosphere is the global sum of all ecosystems, and abiogenesis is the origin of life from non - living matter.
For Question 17: A pyramid of biomass represents the amount of living tissue (mass of living organisms) within a trophic area at a particular time. The number of total organisms is represented by a pyramid of numbers, the range of food webs isn't what a biomass pyramid represents, and the percentage of energy passed through each trophic level is related to energy flow and not biomass.

Answer:

Question 16: D. Biome
Question 17: D. Amount of living tissue within a trophic area
