The answer is “d” (1,000 kcal). As the trophic level increases energy is decreases by 10 times that of the previous level. If a system has 10,000 kcal, then the primary consumer have 10 times less (10,000/10) which is 1,000 kcal. The secondary consumers have 100 kcal and the tertiary have 10 kcal. Only 10% of the energy at each trophic level goes on to the next.
<span>Chromated copper arsenate, or CCA, is a pesticide that has been used for years in
pressure-treating lumber to prevent destruction from rot and insects. Arsenic, a toxic
chemical, can leach from this treated wood, leaving residues on the wood’s surface and in
nearby soil. Young children who play on or near decks or playscapes made from CCA-
treated wood can get arsenic on their skin and into their bodies, especially if they eat or
drink without washing their hands.
Because of the health risks of long-term exposure to arsenic, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has announced that as of December 31, 2003, arsenic Currently the EPA does not recommend that people remove existing structures made with CCA-treated wood or the soil surrounding those structures. However, they do recommend that people reduce their potential exposure to arsenic.</span>
