When predators consume prey that contain a toxic material, such as mercury, they may end up with a high quantity of the material in their bodies that can affect their populations and public health if they are consumed. what is this process called? biomagnification concentration expansion mutation

Biomagnification

Explanation:

Biomagnification is a process in which the concentration of a toxic substance increases in a food chain when one affected organism is consumed by the other. Generally these toxic substances remains undigested in the bodies of these organisms, which produce deadly symptoms. Usually the organism at the highest trophic level is affected as the concentration of the toxic substance is the highest which leads to the mortality of the members in large numbers.

According to the given situation, mercury being a metallic toxic material will remain undigested in the body of the prey which are consumed by the predators. This predator population if consumed by public can have a detrimental effect on health. This situation describes the process of biomagnification.

1. glaciers are melting

2. more water going into ocean (water's such as fresh waters, etc)

false because ozone (o3) depletion does not cause global warming, but both of these environmental problems have a common cause: human activities that release pollutants into the atmosphere altering it.

global warming is caused primarily by putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when coal, oil, and natural gas are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars.
