Pesticides may end up in water sources (such as rivers and the sea), as a consequence they end up in the food chain. Not only this, human water systems could be affected, resulting in humans ingesting these pesticides.
Pesticide presence increases as you go up the food chain because more food will be consumed (e.g: The larger fish may eat several small fish who are contaminated with the pesticide).
Example:
Algae (absorbs pesticide)—> small fish —> Larger fish —> Human

Answer:
D) A and C
Explanation:
Gram staining is a laboratory technique used for bacterial species. It is used to differentiate between two groups of bacteria based on the components of their cell wall. Gram staining was developed by a scientist called Christian Gram in the year 1884. In the gram stain procedure, the following occurs:
- Due to the thick peptidoglycan component of their cell wall, GRAM POSITIVE bacteria retains the crystal violet due and stain VIOLET.
- On the contrary, due to the thin peptidoglycan component of their cell wall, GRAM NEGATIVE bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye and hence stain, RED.
Based on this, a bacteria that has been gram stained has been tested for its GRAM REACTION and microscopic morphological characteristics, since it is a microbe.
