Answer 1

Answer:

As explained below

Explanation:

• The terrestrial food web is a food web that is characterized by all land animals and is largest terrestrial food chain on earth as the farmer tends to introduce a rat poison in this food web the rat may get killed by the medicine but if the same rate may be eaten by a snake the poison that killed the rat may infect the snake.

• Hence the pollutant may climb up the ladder and intoxicate the hawk that depends on small animal for prey which may be further eaten by a man or other animal like a cat may then spread this disease or the infection to other upwards in the food chain and thus the process of Biomagnification takes place in the ecosystem.
