What are the Primary secondary and tertiary levels of a gold ring?
gold mine;factory;shops
How many trophic levels are in the food chain?
There are four trophic levels in an ecological pyramid. They are primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
The process by which non-biodegradable pollutants become more concentrated near the top of a food chain is called?
The tendency of chemicals to become more concentrated as they move up the food chain is known
Absorption and accumulation of toxic chemicals up the food chain is a definition of what word?
Bioaccumulation is a process by which chemical substances are ingested and retained by organisms, either from the environment directly or through consumption of food containing the chemicals. Biomagnification is a cumulative increase in the concentration of a persistent substance in successively higher levels of the food chain. Bioconcentration refers to the cumulative effects of bioaccumulation and biomagnification.
Which two levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme?
Quaternary and Tertiary levels of protein structure principally determine the active site of an enzyme.
When poisons build up in higher levels in a food chain what terms is used?
Biomagnification
What are the levels of lerarning?
primary,secondary and tertiary
What are the four levels of protein structure?
primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary
As ddt moves up the trophic levels in food chains its concentration?
Its called biomagnification - sorry i spelled it wrong the first time
What are the four levels of preventive care?
primary secondary tertiary
What are the four levels of industry?
Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
What is the process where pollution levels increase through the food chain?
increase in concentration of a pollutant from one link in a food chain to another. Biomagnification is the bioaccumulation of a substance up the food chain by transfer of residues of the substance in smaller organisms that are food for larger organisms in the chain. It generally refers to the sequence of processes that results in higher concentrations in organisms at higher levels in Biomagnification: the food chain (at higher trophic levels). These processes result in an organism having higher concentrations of a substance than is present in the organism's food. Biomagnification can result in higher concentrations of the substance than would be expected if water were the only exposure mechanism. Accumulation of a substance only through contact with water is known as bioconcentration..
Is the Exxon Valdez oil spill linked to biomagnification?
Yes, the Exxon Valdez oil spill is linked to biomagnification. The spill released a significant amount of oil into the ecosystem, which resulted in the contamination of marine organisms. Through biomagnification, the toxic compounds in the oil can accumulate and become more concentrated as they move up the food chain, posing a greater risk to predators at higher trophic levels.
What are the four levels of sucture for a protein?
primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary
What are tertiary qualif?
Tertiary qualifications are basically college degrees. In U.S. parlance, there are levels of education - primary (grade) school, secondary (high) school, and tertiary school (colleges and universities).
How might placing a peptide into a non-polar solution affect the tertiary structure of the peptide?
Placing a peptide into a non polar solution can affect the tertiary structure. It can affect it by identify the relatively facile rotations.
What are the different levels of protein folding?
Tertiary - the protein's natural three- dimensional conformation - and Quaternary - how separately related tertiary forms coalesce.
