Why does mercury build up in fish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When a body of water is polluted with mercury, the mercury will begin building up in every part of the water, including plants, plankton, and fish. Each part of the food chain increases the amount of mercury. Therefore, larger fish will have more mercury inside them.

What role did food production play in the rise of civilization?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Food production played a crucial role in the rise of civilization. The development of agriculture allowed humans to transition from hunter-gatherer societies to settled communities, as people began to cultivate crops and domesticate animals. This shift led to a surplus of food, enabling population growth, the division of labor, and the development of complex social, political, and economic systems that are characteristic of civilizations.

Food related careers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When one takes a look around the typical grocery store, he or she might notice that the percentage of simple fruits, vegetables, and animal products for sale is simply not as high as it used to be. In today's times, people are generally far too busy to prepare all of their own food from scratch. Most citizens must rely on prepackaged, processed food to provide them with the nourishment that they need on a daily basis. This is where the work of a food scientist comes in. Food scientists perform extensive research in order to provide consumers across the world with the tastiest, most nutritious food products possible.

Food scientists must perform a variety of different tasks for the business, government organization, or research facility that they work for. Some food scientists develop new ways to package food that optimize freshness and retention of nutrients. Other scientists might be assigned with the task of improving food preparation techniques, such as providing a food manufacturer with an alternate method of drying that will preserve the end product for a longer period of time. A food scientist might study products at a molecular level, striving to learn more about the different nutrients that are available in various substances. Finally, some food scientists work for government organizations to inspect the safety and quality of various food preparation establishments.

In order to become a food scientist, one must first attend a four-year college and earn a bachelor's degree in a pertinent field of study. Ideal degrees would include a BS in biology, chemistry, physics, or agricultural science. More extensive education is required for those who wish to work in the field of food science research; generally, one must achieve a master's or a doctorate's degree in a related area of study in order to be eligible for such a career. Additionally, certain states require food scientists to be licensed in order to work in certain positions such as food inspection.

The starting salary for food scientists is typically about $34,600 per year. However, this salary will vary greatly depending on one's experience and specialization, and food scientists who possess a very extensive background in their field can earn up to $82,000 annually.

How do bugs help plants?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Controlling growth, dispersing seeds, and eating predators are ways in which bugs help plants. For example, bugs that are not invading or swarming in response to environmental stress and that are not natural enemies (such as aphids) may eat just enough to contain -- and not permanently damage -- development while acting as natural controls on "bad bugs" (as in the interaction between beneficial ladybugs and harmful mealybugs) and natural supports for the next generation by spreading pollen or seeds.

that would probably be a food web. like a spiders web many different overlapping threads create the whole picture. in other words one animal eats and gets eaten by many different other animals.

What could happen if a component of your food web is removed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If a species of plant or animal in the food web was completely removed, there will probably be another to take it's place. Say that grass is removed from the food web. What eats grass? When a cow goes to eat grass, there is none. The cow would not die right away, but eventually it would. Who eats cows? People do. Large animals do.The mountain lions wouldn't be able to eat. They would die. You have grass. The grasshopper eats the grass. The fish eats the grasshopper. The bird eats the fish. The snake eats the bird. The bear eats the snake. We eat the bear. If you remove one place, than the next one just gets jacked up. Hope my point of veiw helped!

What is transeferred from producers to consumers and decomposers through food chains?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Energy is transferred in a food chain. It starts with plants absorbing energy from the sun. It is then transferred up through the food chain by animals that eat plants which are, in turn, eaten by carnivore's.
