5) a food web is shown:
microscopic algae--->crab--->
crocodile-->human
if the water,where microscopic algae, crab abd crocodile live in contain a trace amount of lead(heavy metal), which organisms may have the highest concentration of lead in its body?Why?
A.microscopic algae, because lead accumulate into microscopic algaes' cell(s),when calculating the the lead amount and the cell(s), for example, 0.01% of the cell(s) is occupied by lead, when comparing to human, there are many human somatic cells, even the amount is the same, but the concentration will be 0.00001% , so the concentration will be higher in algae
B.human, the lead concentration increase along the level, from producer to tertiary level, so human has the highest concentration.
