How can pollution be found in greater amounts at higher trophic levels compared to lower trophic levels?

Biology

Answer: D. Biological magnification

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear sequence of transfer of food and energy when one organism is consumed by another organism. The transmission of food and energy takes place from the lower trophic level to higher trophic levels when organisms of the lower trophic level are consumed by the organisms of higher trophic levels.

Biological magnification is a phenomena in which a toxic material or pollutant enters into the food chain. The material remains undigested in the body of the organisms and causes detrimental effects. The organisms at the highest trophic levels decline in number due to the increase in concentration of the toxic at the higher level as they consume organisms of the lower trophic levels.

According to the given situation, biological magnification is the correct option because here the amounts of pollution at the higher trophic levels is the greatest as compared to the lower trophic levels.

Thetrophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of production at the trophic level
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is 20 % for the producer and the primary consumer.

Explanation:

The trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) is calculated by dividing the value of primary consumer by the value of producer and multiply by 100. The value of 1000 is divided by 5000 and multiply by 100, we get 20 % which means that when the primary consumer eat producer, only 20% of energy is transferred in the body of primary consumer while the remaining 80% energy will be lost as heat energy in the ecosystem.
