How does pollution relate to biological magnification?
DDT is a prime example. It affected Gerbes (a water bird), who ingested fish contianing the toxins after they ate midges
Would a buffalo or a mountain lion be more affected by biomagnification?
Would a buffalo or a mountain lion be more affected by bio magnification
Is DDT a parasite?
DDT is an insecticide.
Is DDT flammable?
DDT is flammable.
Is DDT is fertiliser?
DDT is an insecticide.
Does DDT undergo bio-magnification?
Yes, it is true.
How did biological magnification play a role in the disappearance of the peregrine falcon?
The use of the pesticide DDT.
What can people do to solve the problem of biomagnification?
we can solve the concentration of biological magnification if produce less DDT
How do you put Biomagnification in a sentence?
I can not think of a sentence for bio magnification
What is the relationship between biological magnification and the reduction of the bald eagle population by pesticide DDT?
because DDT accumulates in fatty tissue, DDT concentrations increase as this chemical moves up in the food chain because at the top of the food chain, DDT concentration has increased almost 10 million times
What does DDT mean in global warming?
DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a pesticide. It has nothing to do with global warming. It was however used as an example of the bio-accumulation of chemicals in the ecosystem which may harm animals, fish and birds. DDT was used as an example of these problems in Rachael Carson's book "Silent Spring"

Is there any evidence of bio-accumulation in the case of DDT?
Yes, many animals and plants have been tested and proven to contain DDT years after it was applied to crops many miles away. The most notable case is that of the American Bald Eagle, whose eggshells were weakened by DDT contamination, threatening the entire Bald Eagle population for years. Some years after DDT was banned in the US, the eagle's normal reproductive cycle was restored, as the DDT levels in their blood was reduced.
Would a buffalo or a mountain lion be more affected by biomagnification?

What are the effects of DDT on marine mammals?
Bio-accumulation in the invertebrates within the aquatic ecosystem makes it highly toxic to larger predators such as species of fish and possibly feeding birds in the aquatic area. DDT effects the fertility of the species such as thinning of egg shells and death of embryos.
Is DDT a parasite?
DDT is an insecticide.
