  • Accumulation of non-biodegradable pesticides in the food chain in increasing amount at each higher trophic level is known as: (a) eutrophication (b) pollution (c) biomagnification (d) accumulation

Accumulation of non-biodegradable pesticides in the food chain in increasing amount at each higher trophic level is known as:
(a) eutrophication
(b) pollution
(c) biomagnification
(d) accumulation

Answers (1)

(c)
Bio-magnification is the accumulation of non-biodegradable pesticides in the food chain in increasing amounts at each higher trophic level. Due to bio-magnification poison from one level to another will increase. So if if low-level animals are affected then the poison will be carried to the above levels and doses of poison increase leading to negative consequences on the organism.

Therefore option (C) is correct.
