Pollution can be found in greater amounts at higher trophic levels compared to lower trophic levels by Biomagnification. It indicates the presence or increase in the concentration of toxic materials or pollutants in the tissues of living organisms in a trophic level of an eco system.

Answer:

Through the process of biomagnification. An example is what happens with mercury in marine species.

Explanation:

Mercury is a pollutant known as a problem for the environment and the oceans, which affects the marine fauna to varying degrees and therefore the health of human beings. Methylmercury is the most toxic form of mercury and accumulates in the tissues of organisms. It is capable of bioaccumulating up to about one million times along the marine trophic chain, from microorganisms to predatory fish and mammals. In view of the ability to accumulate in organisms through trophic levels, higher concentrations are expected to be found in predatory fish and marine mammals (higher trophic levels), through the process known as biomagnification.

What role do the mountains play in creating biome?
ASHA 777 [7]
Mountains determine wind flow, as well as serving as a cloud break. Depending on which side of the mountain you’re on, you will either have a mostly dry, dead region. Or a moist, fertile region.

When did Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen
Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen around 200 million years ago.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Many scientists believed that Earth did not have any oxygen. Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the microbes which produced oxygen for the first time with the help of photosynthesis.  This was around 4.5 billion years ago: after Hadean eon.

They were very simple, but they produced oxygen in the early earth’s atmosphere. So, they brought evolution on earth. This “blue-green algae” exists in salt water, rocks and soils and play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem.
