Answer: False

Transuranic waste  refers to the radioactive waste. It includes all elements that have atomic number higher than that of uranium in the periodic table. These elements includes neptunium, plutonium and others. Transuranic waste is generated during the use of nuclear fuel, nuclear weapon production, and reprocessing of the already used nuclear fuel. It also, consists of equipment, protective clothing and tools used in the processing of radioactive material.

Therefore, on the basis of above information, the statement transuranic waste comes mostly from used clothing and medical wastes is false.

Which trophic level contains more energy: a trophic level of herbivores or a trophic level of carnivores? Why?
Bas_tet [7]
Hello :)

The answer to your question is a trophic level of carnivores


Only a fraction of the energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

Since carnivores are above herbivores in the trophic levels, herbivores have more energy than carnivores.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

I'm pretty sure that each level decreases the amount of energy by a factor of 1/10 so for primary consumers there would be 100 units of energy.
