Define biological magnification and explain why humans are often more severely affected?
Biological magnification: the process by which pollutants become more concentrated in successive trophic levels of a food web (accumulation of pollutants in fatty tissues of a predator) Humans are often more severely affected than earlier trophic levels due to biological magnification. The ppm (parts per million) is the unit of measurement for concentration of chemicals like pollutants and augment to a degenerative degree in higher trophic levels. Humans are consumers and higher in the food web, thus subject to the malicious effects of biological magnification of toxins.
What is the biological process in which decomposers are unable to break down industrial wastes and the wastes become more concentrated as they move through the food chain called?
magnification

What is the psychosocial theory of motivation?
The psychosocial theory of motivation, proposed by psychologist Abraham Maslow, suggests that individuals are motivated by a hierarchy of needs, starting from basic physiological needs (such as food and shelter) and progressing to higher-order needs (such as self-esteem and self-actualization). According to this theory, individuals are driven to fulfill these needs in a specific order in order to achieve personal growth and fulfillment.
