Question

Human beings occupy the top level in any food chain.” What are the  consequences of this on our body?

Answer 1

Hey mate..
=========

☆''Human beings occupy the top level in any food chain.”☆

▪The given sentence is true.

$why \:$ ?

▪As the human beings top the level of food chain , some unknown chemicals also enter our bodies along with the food chain.

▪One of the reasons is the use of pesticides and chemicals to protect our crops from diseases and pests. These chemicala are either washed down into the soil or into the water bodies.

From the soil , these are absorbed by the plants along with water and minerals While from the water bodies , these are taken by the aquatic plants and animals. This is one of the ways in which they enter the food chain.As these chemicals are not degradable, they get accumulated progressively at each trophic level. As human beings top any level of food-chain the maximum concentration of these chemicals get accumulated in our bodies. This phenomenon is known as biological Magnification. This is the reason why our food grains such as wheat and rice , vegetable and fruits and even meat contain varying amount of pesticide residues. They cannot always be removed by Washing or by other means.

Hope it helps !!

Answer 2

the answer is here@@@@@#####@
1. Maximum level of bio magnification occurs here because of progressive accumulation
2. We get very small amount of energy as only 10% of the previous energy gets transferred at each trophic level.
