∙ 14y agoThis is biological magnification; the concentration of poison in the environment gets higher and higher as it goes up the food chain. The poisons are kept in the bodies of the animals that eat them. They are not broken down or eliminated. So a predator that is higher up the chain gets a lot of the poison from its food.

∙ 12y agoAnimals at the top of the food chain are at a greater risk from poisons in the environment because toxins accumulate in their bodies over time through a process called bioaccumulation. As these animals consume prey that have been exposed to toxins, the toxins become more concentrated in their bodies, leading to potential health issues or even death. Additionally, because these top predators have fewer natural enemies, they may have less pressure to evolve mechanisms to detoxify these substances.

∙ 14y agoIf you assume that 1 gram of a harmful chemical went on each plant in an area and assume that a rabbit eats 10 plants then the rabbit has consumed 10 grams of the harmful chemical. If a fox then eats 10 rabbits it has then consumed 100 grams of the harmful chemical and this dosage is likely to be more harmful then the small doses which the rabbits consumed, particularly if it has a cumulative effect and remains in the body. So if the fox ate 10 rabbits a day it might have 3000 grams of the chemical in its system after a month.

∙ 14y agoMany insects are killed by poisons. Many others are simply made weak. The weak insects are easy for their predators to catch. As their predators catch insects full of toxins, the toxins build up in their blood. Their predators could be a spider less affected by the toxin. As their predators catch the weakened insects, they become sick, it becomes easier for their predators to catch them. The predator could be a small bird. As the toxin builds up in it, it acts sicker and easier to catch. This keeps happening until a hawk or eagle ends the build up. Each time, the smaller animal is eaten, the smaller animal is digested. it is turned into energy and building blocks for the larger animal. The poison is not digested but is simply stored in the tissues of the larger animal.
For that reason humans are not fit for human consumption.

A person who studies animals and the way they interact with their environment is called an ecologist or a wildlife biologist.
Natural environment is how an are is without human intervention. This includes the type of plants and animals that are native to a certain environment.
Animals that live in a particular environment depend on factors like climate, habitat, and food availability. Some common animals found in various environments include bears in forests, penguins in cold climates, and camels in deserts. Biodiversity plays a key role in determining the range of animals that can inhabit a specific environment.

Energy is transferred into the environment by the sun. The sun provides the base energy for all ecosystems in the world. Plants turn sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Then, animals eat the plants for energy, and other animals eat those animals and other animals eat THOSE animals and so forth. Another way to look at it is to say that energy is transferred into the environment whenever you burn fossil fuels.
The principles of physics help explain how light interacts with the structures of animal eyes, such as lenses and photoreceptor cells, to form images. Understanding properties of light, such as reflection and refraction, helps explain how animals perceive and interpret visual information from their environment. Additionally, physics principles like the conservation of energy help explain how animals use the energy from light to process visual stimuli and navigate their surroundings.
the animals and plant will die
Looking after the environment is important for animals as the environment is their habitat - where they live. If we don't look after the environment then the animals will lose their habitats - for instance, cutting down loads of trees is bad for animals as well as the environment because you are getting rid of loads of different creatures' habitats.
