Question

If a toxin gets into this marine ecosystem, which species would accumulate to the greatest toxin level concentration as a result of biomagnification? (1 point) Responses the kelp the kelp the orca the orca the crab the crab the sea urchin

Answer 1

In a marine ecosystem, biomagnification refers to the increasing concentration of toxins in organisms at higher trophic levels. Given the options provided, the orca would likely accumulate the greatest toxin level concentration. This is because orcas are top predators in the marine food chain and consume lower trophic level organisms (like crabs, sea urchins, and other fish), which have already accumulated toxins through their diet. Therefore, the correct response is the orca.
