Answer:
a. Biomagnification
Explanation:
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.
Answer: All of these are true (besides the one that says that none are true...).
Explanation:
The ecological succession is a slow change in the living community of the ecosystem along with the changes occurring in the non-living environment until the ecosystem attains stability.
The primary succession can be defined as the initial level of succession. This succession begins in the primitive environment. The soil develops after the weathering process of rocks.
The secondary succession begins in the region where life forms existed before and the area begin damaged by the catostrophic event like forest fire, earthquake and other type of calamities. Some remaining plant parts can give birth to the entire colony of plants.
