Question

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

Explanation:

Biomagnification is the process where toxic substances accumulate in higher - level predators as they consume prey with those substances. Concentration is a more general term not specific to this ecological process. Expansion is unrelated to the build - up of toxins. Mutation is a change in DNA and not relevant here.

Answer:

A. Biomagnification
