Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biomagnification refers to the increasing concentration of a substance, such as DDT, in the tissues of organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain. This process results in higher trophic level organisms (like predators) having a higher concentration of the toxin than organisms at lower trophic levels, effectively creating an "inverse biological pyramid" of toxin concentration.
