The correct answer is 100 adult sharks.

Approximately 10% of the energy is stored in the organisms of each trophic level is available as a food for the next trophic level. Rest of the energy is used by the organism itself for the metabolic function. In this question 100 million pounds of diatoms is present in gulf, out of which 10 million pounds of diatoms available for sardines and 1 million pound is available at black fin tuna and 0.1 million pound is available for mako shark. Each adult mako shark weighs 1000 pounds. Therefore, 0.1 million pound of diatoms can supports 0.1 million divided by 1000 is equals to 100 sharks.

Pyruvate is the product of glycolysis together with two ATP molecules. Pyruvate is further broken down by joining the krebs cycle and finally the electron transport chain that transfer electrons using the redox reaction, to reduce NADH to NAD + H and FADH to FAD, creating the final product i.e ATP, Overall one glucose molecule gives 38 ATP molecules in aerobic respiration.
