The fish is the  first organism that would be tested and measured for DDT as it pass on the DDT to the upward trophic level in food chain. After that predators will be checked for DDT concentration.

Explanation:

DDT level in the organism gets increase as it moves upward in the trophic level.

Toxins as DDT gets incorporated to fats and tissues of the organism. It gets soluble in fats.

The highest concentration of DDT is observed in tertiary consumers as carnivore.

It can be seen that DDT concentration is more in producers than primary consumers. With the process of biomagnification the concentration of DDT increases at successive levels.

In aquatic food chain pesticides or heavy metals are consumed by aquatic organsims which are consumed by large birds and human. The DDT level will be checked in fish then birds and humans.

Why does increasing the temperature of a reaction cause the reaction rate to increase?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Increased energy enables more particles to collide."

Explanation:

The reaction rate is defined as the change in the concentration of one of the reagents or products, in a time interval in which the change takes place.

For a chemical reaction to take place, the molecules of the reagents must collide, and must also collide effectively. In other words, these shocks must be produced with sufficient energy so that they can break and form chemical bonds. In the crash there must be proper orientation.

When increasing the temperature, the molecules will possess greater kinetic energy, which is that energy related to the movement of the molecules. Consequently, these molecules will move faster.Thus, the possibility of colliding with another molecule increases significantly. In this way, the reaction rate increases.

So, <u><em>the correct answer is "Increased energy enables more particles to collide."</em></u>
