Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>

Explanation:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)  or Mad Cow Disease  is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form  as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.

If there is 500,000 calories worth of producers in the biome, how many calories will the tertiary consumer receive?
ipn [44]

The tertiary consumer will receive 500 calories.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calories produced by the producer = 500,000

The flow of energy through different trophic levels is 10%

After producer comes the primary consumer followed by secondary consumer followed by tertiary consumer.

Energy reached to primary consumer = \frac{10}{100} X 500000

                                                               = 50000 calories

Energy reached to secondary consumer = \frac{10}{100} X 50000

                                                                    = 5000 calories

Energy reached to tertiary consumer = \frac{10}{100} X 5000

                                                              = 500 calories

Therefore, the tertiary consumer will receive 500 calories.
