Question

In a polluted environment, the concentration of pollutant would be maximum in

• A. Secondary consumers
• B. Tertiary consumers
• C. Producers
• D. Primary consumers

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Tertiary consumers

In biomagnification, the concentration of toxic materials increases at each trophic level of a food chain. So, the concentration of pollutant will be the least in producers, followed by the primary consumers and secondary consumers. The concentration of the pollutant would be maximum in tertiary consumers.
