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.

Place the events in order of sympathetic motor pathway. 1. postganglionic neuron depolarizes 2. acetylcholine binds to sweat gla

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: 1, 3, 5, 2, 6, 4

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system stimulates many parts of the body for action during times of danger.

This signalling starts when the postganglionic neuron depolarizes, and postganglionic neuron releases acetylcholine, then the acetylcholine binds to nicotinic receptor in order to transmit impulse, and further the acetylcholine binds to sweat gland’s muscarinic receptor to disrupt or inactivate the action of acetylcholine. Finally, the neuron releases acetylcholine, and the neuron exits lumbar segment of spinal cord.

The danger has now been fully interpreted.
