Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Toxic chemicals, such as pesticides and heavy metals, typically biomagnify as they move up the food chain. This means that as predators eat prey, they accumulate the chemicals in their bodies. As a result, top carnivores such as apex predators are likely to have the highest concentrations of toxic chemicals in their bodies.
