The process of some chemicals building up in living things to a concentration that is higher than what occurs in the inorganic, non-living world is known as "biomagnification" or "biological magnification."

<h3>What is meant by biomagnification ?</h3>

Biomagnification is the accumulation of a chemical by an organism as a result of exposure to both food and water, resulting in a concentration that is higher than what would have been expected from equilibrium and higher than what would have occurred with only water exposure.

The accumulation of a certain material in the bodies of creatures at various trophic levels of a food chain is known as biomagnification. The buildup of the chemical DDT in zooplanktons is one instance of biomagnification in action. These zooplanktons are consumed by little fish.

Answer:

frontal

Explanation:

In a mammalian brain, there are four major lobes that are present and one of them is the frontal lobe.
The frontal lobe is mainly rich in dopaminergic neurons and thus, it is mainly concerned with functions such as memory, reward, motivation, planning, attention, etc.
The process of break down of tissues and cell death in the tissues is referred to as atrophy and since the frontal lobe is associated with the functions as mentioned above its atrophy would lead to a slow decline in these functions.
Since Mr. Klondlike behavior is changing his blunt comments are most likely a result of atrophy of the frontal lobe.

Explanation:

While their range is wide, due to extensive egg collecting and bycatch fisheries, the numbers of leatherback turtles have decreased dramatically over the past century.
