When a pollutant present in low concentrations in the environment becomes concentrated as it moves through a food chain the phenomenon is called?
Biological magnification or Biomagnification The answer is D Plato users
Why does the level of a more concentrated solution rise when two solutions of different concentrations are separated by a semipermeable membrane and when does it stop rising?
The more concentrated solution is hypertonic and osmotic pressure (a hydrostatic force whose sole purpose in life is to make concentrations equal) tends to move solvent into the more concentrated solution. It will stop rising when either a) the solution concentrations are the same on both sides of the membrane, or b) when the osmotic pressure becomes equal to the ambient air pressure.
What is secondary pollution?
a secondary pollutant is basically not given off as a pollutant but becomes one after it reacts with other pollutants, primary pollutants, in the atmosphere
Why does ozone increase at low altitude?
Ozone increase at low altitude. It also becomes a pollutant.
Is a fertilizer a pollutant?
Yes, fertilizer can be a pollutant.Specifically, fertilizer becomes a pollutant in terms of water. Excess applications can run off in rain events. They end up in streams where they cause nitrogen blooms.
When more solvent is added what will happen to concentrated solutition?
It becomes diluted.
When something becomes concentrated do its particles of it separate throughout a solvent?
Cheese
Which is dilute and concentrated?
Dilute refers to only a little solute in a large amount of solvent. As the amount of solute is increased the solution becomes more concentrated.
What is a biodegradable material that becomes a pollutant if allowed to accumulate more rapidly than it can decompose?
Newspaper. Its not plastic because plastic is not biodegradable.

Newspaper. Its not plastic because plastic is not biodegradable.
Does ADH favor the formation of dilute or concentrated urine?
ADH causes an increase in water reabsorption in the kidneys. Thus, by absorbing more water, the urine becomes MORE concentrated (more compounds in less water = more concentrated)
What happens to sulfur when burnt?
It becomes sulphur dioxide, a corrosive pollutant. The sulpher dioxide then mixes with water vapour in the atmosphere to produce acid rain.
