Between 1932 and 1968, a chemical factory in Japan released mercury-laden wastewater into Minamata Bay. The mercury was modified

to methylmercury by bacteria living in bottom sediments. This resulted in severe mercury poisoning in over 2,000 people. Since people don't eat bottom sediments, what is the best explanation for how toxic levels of mercury ended up in affected people?

The toxic still ended up to the affected people because of bioaccumulation. This means that organisms who might have consumed the said mercury was consumed by some larger organisms. These larger organisms were eaten or consumed by human beings. The toxin, in other words, was just passed on to different species.

Match the creature to its distribution pattern.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct match would be:

  • Swallow - migration
  • Tiger - sparse distribution—scarce
  • Devil’s Hole pupfish - local endemic
  • Humpback whale - sparse distribution—widely dispersed

Swallows are small migratory birds belonging to the family Hirundinidae found all around the world. Migrating swallows can cover around 200 miles in a day.

Tiger has become endangered species due to excessive hunting and habitat loss. It is estimated that only 3800 tigers are left in the wild.

Devil’s Hole pupfish is a species of a fish only found in Devils Hole which is a  geothermal aquifer-fed pool located in Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge  in Nevada city of the United States

The humpback whale or <em>Megaptera novaeangliae</em> is a species of baleen whale which is widely distributed in all major oceans including Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans.
