The phenomenon of concentrated toxic deposition at the higher trophic level is known as _________.
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Biomagnification
Biodegradation is a natural way of
recycling wastes. It is a process of breaking down organic matter into
nutrients that can be used by other organisms. The phenomenon by which bacteria
and other organisms produce minerals is called biomineralization. The
phenomenon of concentrated toxic deposition at a higher trophic level is known
as bioaccumulation. The phenomenon of increase in the
concentration of non-biodegradable pollutants from lower to higher
trophic levels is called biomagnification. DDT being toxic and interrupting the food chain by accumulation
causes biomagnification.
The correct answer
