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.
Infected cells create and release small proteins known as interferons, which help the immune system fight viruses. Interferons stop viruses from replicating by interfering with their ability to multiply within infected cells.
Can you type the question or take a better picture i can’t really see it
All organisms interact with their environment. choose one of the biogeochemical cycles and explain how various types of organisms are part of that cycle and help recycle the substance in an ecosystem. One example of how human activity has impacted the cycle is that humans have polluted the water making it unsafe and in some cases not suitable to support life.
