Answer:

At each higher level of consumption, the amount of toxin is magnified.

Explanation:

Those predators all eat smaller secondary consumers, and those secondary consumers eat the primary consumers, which a lot of the times are exposed to DDT. For example bugs are often the primary target for DDT, once those bugs are exposed to the DDT they carry it in/with them. When a fish eats the bug, that fish is now exposed to the DDT. When the fish is caught and eaten by an eagle that eagle and its young are now being exposed to DDT. The DDT might not effect the full grown eagle for its lifetime but it does effect its young.

Stella [2.4K]

<span>A light year refers to a very big amount of distance and is a measurement termed as an astronomical unit of measure. When you say that a galaxy is 5,000 light years away we are actually describing the speed of light within a year. One light year is actually equivalent to 9, 500, 000, 000, 000 kilometers. Just imagine how big or how far that galaxy is when you multiply those kilometers by 5,000?</span>
