Question

The term ""biomagnification"" means that a chemical ____ at each trophic level in a food chain or web.

Answer 1

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Biomagnification refers to a phenomenon in which the harmful toxic chemical gest magnified or amplified or increases in the food chain trophic level.

The biomagnification is caused by the bio-accumulation of the toxic material in the organisms.

The harmful toxic chemical enters the food chain through eating like when the crops are sprayed with pesticides and insecticides runoff in the water. From there the toxic material enters the aquatic food chain like from the planktons to fish and then to vultures.

The organisms at higher trophic level die because of the accumulation of the infected lower trophic organisms.

Thus, Increases is the correct answer.
