Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.
For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.
The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.
Explanation:Everything in science relies on proof. In history and arts, things don't work like that because there are not things to proof, there are no theories nor hypothesis.
These proteins allow substances to enter that wouldn't be able to otherwise. Only small hydrophobic substances can enter cells. However, these proteins aid crucial substsances in entering the cell.<span />
