Detailed explanation-1: -Bioaccumulation is the process by which toxins enter the food web by building up in individual organisms, while biomagnification is the process by which toxins are passed from one trophic level to the next (and thereby increase in concentration) within a food web.
Detailed explanation-2: -Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification or bioaccumulation, is the increasing concentration of a substance such as a toxic chemical in the tissues of organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -They get absorbed by organisms at the bottom of the food chains and build up at higher levels. This process is known as bioaccumulation. If the lethal dose is reached, the organisms at the top of the food chain die.
