Why carnivores are subject to biological magnification of substances like ddt and pcbs?
Carnivores are subject to biological magnification of substances like DDT and PCBs because they occupy higher trophic levels in the food chain. As these harmful substances accumulate in the environment, they are taken up by smaller organisms, which are then consumed by larger predators. Each successive predator accumulates higher concentrations of these toxins through the process of biomagnification, leading to potentially harmful effects on their health and reproductive success. Additionally, carnivores often have lower populations and longer lifespans, further exacerbating the accumulation of these harmful substances.
