5 0

Answer:

The correct option is B) a pattern of biological functioning that occurs on a 24-hour cycle.

Explanation:

Biological rhythm is defined as the regular variation of an organic function related to the course of time, circadian biological phenomena (around the day), are those with a period of approximately 24 hours.

Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a daily cycle (the biological rhythm), and that respond primarily to light and darkness in an organism's environment. This cycle close to 24 hours, allows to recognize the sleep-wake phenomena and their homeostatic action, in the systemic processes of every living being. The circadian system is composed of photoreceptors, pacemakers and efferent pathways that allow a regular functioning of the sleep and wakeful state.

Explain why toxic compounds usually have the greatest effect on top-level carnivores
gladu [14]
This is because toxins are ingested by organisms and accumulate in the fatty tissues. Theses toxins then become more concentrated in successive trophic levels of a food web biological magnification. Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given trophic level is produced from a much larger biomass ingested from the level below and therefore, top-level carnivores tend to be the organisms most severely affected by toxic compounds.
