Question

What is biological magnification? Will the levels of this maqnification be different at different levels of the ecosystem?

​

Answer 1

$\bf{ \color{red}{BIOLOGICAL \: \: MAGNIFICATION}}$

$\sf{ \color{darkblue}{Biological \: magnification \: is \: the \: phenomenon \: in}}$

$\sf{ \color{darkblue}{which \: harmful \: chemicals \: enter \: in \: the \: food \: chain}}$

$\sf{ \color{darkblue}{and \: its \: concentration \: increases \: at \: each \: tropic}}$

$\sf{ \color{darkblue}{level \: .}}$

______________________________________

$\bf{ \color{red}{YES}}$

→ The levels of Biological Magnification different at different levels of the ecosystem.

→ It will be maximize at highest tropic levels and minimum at lowest tropic levels.

Ex :- In Humans; Biological Magnification is the most.

Answer 2

Answer:

➡️The increase in concentration of harmful chemical substances like pesticides in the body of living organisms at each trophic level of a food chain is called biological magnification.

➡️Yes, levels of bio-magnification would increase as the trophic level increases and would be the highest for topmost trophic level. It would affect their biological process such as growth, reproduction, etc.
