Why are natural calamities destructive to ecosystem?
Because it can easily wipe out or destroy ecosystems along the path of destruction.
What is biodivesity?
Biodiversity is the variety of all living things such as the different plants, animals and micro organisms, the genetic information they contain and the ecosystems they form.
Which metal contribute to biomagnification be a problem in ecosystems?
Mercury is a metal that can contribute to biomagnification and be a problem in ecosystems. It is released into the environment through industrial activities and can accumulate in organisms, particularly in fish. As predators consume smaller prey, the concentration of mercury in their bodies increases, leading to biomagnification. Mercury can have toxic effects on organisms and can disrupt their reproductive, neurological, and immune systems.
What can people do to solve the problem of biomagnification?
we can solve the concentration of biological magnification if produce less DDT
Is organic cultivation a solution to biomagnification?
no
What is biomagnification of pesticides?
Biomagnification of pesticides basically means that the concentration of the substance exceeds what it should be. This makes the pesticide more powerful and harmful.
How can you determine Biomagnification factor?
BMFi =Ciorganism / Cidiet Ciorganism = concentration of i in organism Cidiet = concentration of i in diet BMFi = biomagnification factor of chemical i
How do you prevent biomagnification?
The easiest way to prevent biomagnification would be to cut down or better yet eliminate our pollutants so they cant transfer.
How to prevent biomagnification?
Biomagnification is the increase in pollutants from the environment from one consumer to the next. To avoid this, educate yourself on the diet and living conditions of the food you are eating.
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
What is the problem with the three gorges dam?
The problem is its causing landslides, endangering ecosystems, and is stopping water from flowing to the people downstream.
How can you stop biomagnification?
Decrease reliance on harmful pesticides.
How can biomagnification affect tertiary levels?
by killing organisms
What is an example of biomagnification?
An example of biomagnification is the buildup of harmful pesticides, such as DDT, in the tissues of animals higher up the food chain, like birds or mammals. These chemicals accumulate in organisms as they consume contaminated prey or plants, leading to higher concentrations at the top of the food web.
