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.
Answer:
Gonadotropins are polypeptide hormones and are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.
Explanation:
Hypothalamus releases GnRH i.e gonadotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete gonadotrophs such as FSH, ICSH and LH.
FSH (follicle stimulating hormone): In males it stimulates spermatogenesis. In females it stimulates growth of ovarian follicles.
ICSH (Interstitial cell stimulating hormone): In males, secretion of testosterone.
LH (Luteinising hormone): In femalestogether with FSH, it triggers ovulation, stimulates conversion of broken ovarian follicle into corpus luteum.
