The following option are correct:
1. There will be interspecific competition between foxes and tigers.
Competition for food between animals of different species is called interspecific competition while that between the same animal species is called intraspecific competition.
2. The energy received at the tropic level of carnivores will be less than the usual amount.
The energy received at the trophic level become reduced because the amount of food available for the carnivores has been reduced.
3. There will be decreased biomass at the trophic level of carnivores.
Decrease biomass will occur at the trophic level of carnivores because, those carnivores that can not survive the food reduction problem will die off.
A waterborne pollutant can have different effects on aquatic life depending on the nature of the pollutant. A pollutant at lower levels can have minimal or no effect on aquatic life. However, when the concentrations of the pollutant are high, the population of aquatic organisms can be greatly reduced. There are also times when pollutants at lower concentrations cause significant damage. An organism can consume another organism that has absorbed small amounts of the pollutant. As the consumer takes in more of the contaminated organism, the pollutant is magnified in the body of the consumer resulting in lethal concentrations. This is called biomagnification.
