Biomagnification is a significant problem in aquatic communities. Levels of chemicals magnify (increase or accumulate) at each new link in a food chain. Use the following information to estimate the level of chemical X in a large-mouth bass. One alga can accumulate 1 unit of chemical X. Each copepod eats 15 algae. A minnow consumes 10 copepods, each large-mouth bass consumes 20 minnows.
A. 30 units
B. 3,000 units
C. 20,000 units
D. 15 units
E. 20 units
F. 150 units
G. 300 units
