Why is the predator at the top of the food chain most at risk from bioaccumulation?
Bioaccumulation begins by producers picking up non-biodegradable pollutants from the water that they cannot metabolise or get rid of. It is hence concentrated and stored and passed on to their next predator. Up the trophic levels in food chains, organisms are required to feed on more prey in order to obtain the sufficient amount of energy required, and therefore the predators at the top of the food chain will feed on many prey with the non-biodegradable pollutants accumulated in them and therefore they may end up having a large amount of pollutant within themselves and die.

Which of the 3 consumers rat or snake or hawk will have more energy percent be available?
The hawk will typically have more available energy because it sits at the top of the food chain and consumes the rat and snake, which are lower on the food chain. As energy is lost through each trophic level, the top predator tends to have the most energy available to them.

How long can a food chain be?
A food chain can only be up to 5 trophic levels in length, including the producer. Only a small proportion of the previous organism's energy is passed down through trophic levels to the next organism. This diminishes the energy available, so there is little or no energy to be gained after the 5th stage of a food chain. :)
