The concentration of biocides can increase in members of a food chain through a process known as biomagnification. As smaller organisms, which may absorb or ingest biocides, are consumed by larger predators, the biocide concentration accumulates in the tissues of these higher trophic levels. This can lead to harmful effects on wildlife and potentially impact human health when these organisms are consumed. Over time, this accumulation can disrupt ecosystems and lead to declines in biodiversity.

What is the term used to denote increasing concentration of pesticides and other pollutants in the food chain?

The term used to denote the increasing concentration of pesticides and other pollutants in the food chain is "biomagnification." This process occurs when organisms at lower trophic levels absorb these substances, and as they are consumed by higher trophic level predators, the concentration of these pollutants increases. This can lead to harmful effects on wildlife and human health as toxins accumulate in the tissues of animals higher up the food chain.

Why is a producer the first living thing in a food chain?

Producers are the only members of the food chain that create food. Therefore they must be the first in the food chain because they are the source of the food.
