Robin can have a ddt concentration of 444ppm while the ddt concentration of soil is 10 ppm. This happens due to biological magnification.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In biological magnification the concentration of toxic substances at successive trophic levels keeps increasing. Due to biomagnification, what starts out as a small concentration grows while moving to successive trophic levels. DDT is a pesticide which is used to kill pests that affect crops.
DDT used in farms gets deposited in the soil. From the soil it can reach various trophic levels. At each trophic level its concentration keeps increasing.
Robin is a bird that is a secondary consumer and thus belongs to the higher trophic level. Thus even if the DDT concentration is as low as 10ppm in the soil its concentration will keep increasing and can become a high value like 444ppm.
Explanation:
Catalase test demonstrate the presence of an enzyme called catalase, that catalyses the release of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide. It is used to tell the difference between the non-catalase producing bacteria from those bacteria that produces an enzyme catalase. Catalase is produced by the bacteria that respire using oxygen. If an organism produces catalase, bubbles of oxygen are produced when hydrogen peroxide is added to it.

In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.
Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.
