Explain why toxic compounds usually have the greatest effect on top-level carnivores

1 answer:

8 0

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.

Enter a nuclear equation for the fusion of two h-2 atoms to form he-3 and one neutron. express your answer as a nuclear equation

aliya0001 [1]

The nuclear equation that represents the fusion of two H-2 atoms to form He-3 and one neutron is

$\frac{2}{1} h + \frac{2}{1} h > > > > \frac{3}{2} he + \frac{1}{0} n$

In a nuclear reaction the nuclides are represented with the chemical symbol preceded by a superscript that represents the mass number (number of protons plus neutrons) and a subscript that represents the atomic number (number of protons).

<h3>What is a Nuclear reaction ?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is a process in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry where two nuclei or a nucleus and an outside subatomic particle meet to create one or more new nuclides. Consequently, at least one nuclide must change throughout a nuclear reaction.
