Answer: C). biomagnification

Biomagnification is the phenomena in which toxic chemicals released from industrial and agricultural wastes flow into water bodies and contaminate them. These toxic chemicals causes diseases, genetic mutations,  birth defects and death in organisms which indirectly or directly take them. These toxic chemicals enters into the food chain and affects mainly the  organisms which are at higher trophic levels. They get settle at the bottom of the water body with sediments and organisms feed on these sediments. These toxic chemicals are not digested therefore they are transferred from one trophic level to higher trophic level in an undigested and unchanged form. In the highest trophic level the concentration of these toxic chemicals becomes highest and result in mortality of organisms. This shows magnifying and enlarged destruction of organisms in a food chain hence named biomagnification. It affects endangered species of predators like fishes, aquatic mammals and birds which eat fishes.

The correct answer is Biomagnification.

Biomagnification can be defined as the gradual increase in the concentration of the toxic chemicals at each trophic level. Lowest at the producers and highest at the higher trophic level.

The toxic chemicals such as industrial waste, radioactive waste that enters in the food chain and starts effecting the health of the plants and animals and its concentration increases at each trophic level.

The toxic chemicals gets transferred from the producers to consumers (predators except the primary consumers) and during this transfer the concentration increases.

Scientific thinking: how can scientists assess the health risks of trans fats
Klio2033 [76]
Scientists can access the risks of trans fats by conducting an appropriate experiment which will show the effects of the fats on the human system.
This can be done by feeding known quantity of trans fats to rats over a specific period of time. During the period, the change in the rat weights will be measured on the daily basis and every other changes that is noted in the rats will be noted down. A control group of rats will be included in the experiment; these rats will be given normal rat feeds and not trans fats.
 When the period of feeding is completed, the rats will be killed, all the organs in the rats such as liver, blood, brains, kidney, etc will be harvested and these organs will then be biochemically analysed in order to compare the changes in them with that of a normal rats.
Rats are usually used in biochemical research because their systems and that of human is comparable. Any negative effect of trans fats that is noted in the rats will also hold true for human beings.
