A waterborne pollutant can have different effects on aquatic life depending on the nature of the pollutant. A pollutant at lower levels can have minimal or no effect on aquatic life. However, when the concentrations of the pollutant are high, the population of aquatic organisms can be greatly reduced. There are also times when pollutants at lower concentrations cause significant damage. An organism can consume another organism that has absorbed small amounts of the pollutant. As the consumer takes in more of the contaminated organism, the pollutant is magnified in the body of the consumer resulting in lethal concentrations. This is called biomagnification.
To act as a catalyst in chem reactions

B. When limiting factors and interactions of organisms create balance within a community.
<span>The P-site of the ribosomes is the site of polypeptide elongation during translation of mRNA. Therefore, a drug that binds to this site ensures that there is no elongation hence, basically, the translation process is inhibited. The <span>growing bacteria cell will stop growing and die due to lack of structural and functional proteins to grow and perform its cellular processes respectively..</span></span>
