Answer:
The phenomenon through which certain pollutants (harmful chemicals) get accumulated in tissues of organisms at different trophic levels in increasing concentrations along the food chain, is called Biomagnification.
Explanation:
1)Suppose, DDT is being used in a farmland.
2)There's a water body nearby the farmland and the water is contaminated with the DDT(let's say the quantity: 0.003 ppb).
3)Now the aquatic organisms (Zooplankton) which consume this water also consuming the DDT also.(0.04 ppm)
4)Next these Zooplanktons are consumed by small fishes. (0.5 ppm)
5)These small fishes are then consumed by Large fishes. (2 ppm)
6)These Large Fishes are consumed by Humans or Birds afterwards. (25 ppm)
7) So at each step DDT is also getting accumulated and at each successive trophic level the quantity of Accumulated DDT gets magnified as the organisms on higher trophic levels consume more biomass than the previous ones. This is a classical example of Biomagnification.

Answer:
The correct answers are-
a. Its metabolic demands increase.
b. It's surface area-to-volume ratio decreases.
c. Its ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands decreases.
Explanation:
As the size of a cell increases the surface area to volume ratio decrease. So a big cell has less surface area and small volume. Therefore surface area for transfer of metabolic substance per unit volume decreases so the cell's ability to transport enough nutrients in and transport wastes out to meet cellular metabolic demands also decreases.
But due to an increase in the volume of the cell the metabolic demand of cell increases because a larger cell requires more nutrients than a smaller cell to survive which can not be fulfilled efficiently due to less surface-area-to-volume ratio.
Therefore the correct answer is a, b, and c.
