NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increase in concentration of a substance, e.g a pesticide, in the tissues of organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomagnification is the process by which toxic chemicals build up within predators. This typically occurs across an entire food chain and affects all of the organisms but animals higher up in the chain are more impacted.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biomagnification increases the concentration of toxic substances in organisms at higher trophic levels. DDT is an example of a substance that biomagnifies; birds accumulate sufficient amounts of DDT from eating fish to cause adverse effects on bird populations.

Detailed explanation-5: -∙ As we move from lower to higher trophic levels, the concentration of toxic materials accumulated in the body of an organism increases. This process is called biomagnification.
